Senior Legal Officer at Open Society Institute

2009-03-30T19:13:00.001+01:00

.

The Open Society Institute works to build vibrant and tolerant democracies whose governments are accountable to their citizens. Open societies are characterized by the rule of law; respect for human rights, minorities, and a diversity of opinions; democratically elected governments; market economies in which business and government are separate; and a civil society that helps keep government power in check. To achieve its mission, OSI seeks to shape public policies that assure greater fairness in political, legal, and economic systems and safeguard fundamental rights. On a local level, OSI implements a range of initiatives to advance justice, education, public health, and independent media. At the same time, OSI builds alliances across borders and continents on issues such as corruption and freedom of information. OSI places high priority on protecting and improving the lives of marginalized people and communities.

Investor and philanthropist George Soros in 1993 created OSI as a private operating and grantmaking foundation to support his foundations in Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. Those foundations were established, starting in 1984, to help countries make the transition from communism. OSI has expanded the activities of the Soros foundations network to encompass the United States and more than 60 countries in Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Each national foundation relies on the expertise of boards composed of eminent citizens who determine individual agendas based on local priorities.

Seeking an individual with substantial human rights litigation experience in the field of national security and counter-terrorism, together with exceptional organizational and project management skills. The Open Society Justice Initiative, an operational program of the Open Society Institute that promotes rights-based law reform and strengthens legal capacity worldwide, seeks a Senior Legal Officer to implement litigation designed to challenge human rights violations outside the United States presented by terrorist violence and counter-terrorism efforts undertaken in the wake of or exacerbated by the terrorist attacks of 9/11.
Since its founding at the end of 2002, the Justice Initiative has combined litigation, out-of-court legal advocacy, technical assistance, research and the dissemination of knowledge to secure advances in several thematic priority areas: national criminal justice, international justice, freedom of information and expression, anti-corruption, and equality and citizenship. Its offices and staff are in Abuja, Almaty, Amsterdam, Budapest, London, New York and Washington
Background.

Although terrorist violence has long threatened fundamental rights, the attacks of 9/11 placed the threat of terrorism at the forefront of global concern. Since 9/11, moreover, many governments have responded to the threat of terrorist attacks in ways that violate internationally-protected human rights; in other cases, the post-9/11 environment has exacerbated human rights problems justified in terms of counter-terrorism that predate 9/11. Suspected terrorists have been tortured; the United States and other governments have used “extraordinary renditions” to transfer terrorism suspects from one country to another, where the suspects have often been at serious risk of torture, outside the formal framework of extradition processes; accountability has become attenuated in the wake of many governments’ growing recourse to secrecy, undermining democratic government and in some instances imperiling legal process; more generally, due process rights have been compromised in relation to persons detained on grounds of suspected participation in terrorist activities; peaceful forms of protest have been restricted in some countries; police have increasingly used impermissible forms of profiling to identify individuals suspected of terrorist activity or thought to be susceptible to the influence of terrorist organizations; and persons whose citizenship or legal residency status is vulnerable have faced increased human rights threats justified on national security grounds.

In the United States and United Kingdom, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have systematically used strategic litigation along with other advocacy tools to address abuses associated with state responses to terrorist and other national security-related threats. In these and other countries, advocacy efforts have also included documenting abuses and engaging in policy reform activities.

To date, the Justice Initiative has contributed to global efforts to combat abuses arising out of post-9/11 counter-terrorism efforts in two principal ways:

* First, its programs on National Criminal Justice Reform and Equality and Citizenship have jointly documented practices of ethnic profiling in Europe. While these efforts are not limited to post-9/11 profiling of Muslims, this has been a major focus of the Justice Initiative’s programmatic work on profiling. The Justice Initiative’s central activity in this area has been documenting violations and publishing the results, along with legal analysis and policy recommendations, in public reports;
* Second, the Freedom of Information/Expression program has initiated requests under several countries’ freedom of information laws seeking information about their governments’ cooperation in extraordinary renditions and is collaborating with various organizations in Europe to ensure that these requests help advance litigation challenging the renditions themselves.

The Justice Initiative is exploring preliminary plans for litigation and advocacy concerning the following national security-related abuses in different regions of the world outside the United States:

* The use of administrative and preventive detention for the implicit or explicit purpose of combating terrorism;
* The development of terrorist lists, and other forms of databases, by governments and inter-governmental bodies;
* The use of counter-terrorist policies to restrict forms of protected expression, including speech, association and religious expression;
* The involvement of governments outside the United States in policies of extraordinary rendition;
* Ethnic and religious profiling and discrimination in the application of counter-terrorism policies.

Responsibilities:

Based in the New York office, the Senior Legal Officer for National Security and Counter-terrorism will report to the Director of Programs. Working directly with national lawyers and NGOs, and coordinating closely with Justice Initiative program staff, the Senior Legal Officer for National Security and Counter-Terrorism will further develop and implement plans for litigation and advocacy to address these and related abuses in areas of existing Justice Initiative thematic priority.

Legal Aid And Community Empowerment Clinics
Legal Capacity Development Program
Open Society Justice Initiative

The Open Society Justice Initiative is seeking an individual with substantial human rights teaching and legal aid experiences, exceptional organizational and project management skills, preferably in the fields of criminal law and legal empowerment.

The Open Society Institute works to build vibrant and tolerant democracies whose governments are accountable to their citizens. To achieve its mission, OSI seeks to shape public policies that assure greater fairness in political, legal, and economic systems and safeguard fundamental rights. On a local level, OSI implements a range of initiatives to advance justice, education, public health, and independent media. At the same time, OSI builds alliances across borders and continents on issues such as corruption and freedom of information. OSI places a high priority on protecting and improving the lives of marginalized people and communities.

Investor and philanthropist George Soros in 1993 created OSI as a private operating and grantmaking foundation to support his foundations in Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. Those foundations were established, starting in 1984, to help countries make the transition from communism. OSI has expanded the activities of the Soros foundations network to encompass the United States and more than 60 countries in Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Each Soros foundation relies on the expertise of boards composed of eminent citizens who determine individual agendas based on local priorities.

The Open Society Justice Initiative, an operational program of OSI, pursues law reform activities grounded in the protection of human rights, and contributes to the development of legal capacity for open societies worldwide. The Justice Initiative combines litigation, legal advocacy, technical assistance, and the dissemination of knowledge to secure advances in the following priority areas: anticorruption, equality and citizenship, freedom of information and expression, international justice, and national criminal justice. Its offices are in Abuja, Budapest, London, New York, and Washington DC.

One of the ways the Justice Initiative helps to inspire young lawyers and develop legal capacity is through university-based legal aid clinics. University-based legal aid clinics allow young attorneys, law students and paralegals to provide legal or legal literacy/information services to poor, vulnerable and marginalized segments of the society. They promote social justice and foster professionalism and a sense of public service among lawyers. Law students gain exposure to the problems faced by these groups while developing a sense of their professional responsibility to sustain and support the rule of law, human rights, and social justice.

The Justice Initiative’s predecessor organization pioneered clinical legal education in Central and Eastern Europe in 1997. The initial efforts resulted in founding of almost 100 university based clinical programs in the region. Since its establishment in 2002 Justice Initiative has helped to launch and/or supported university legal aid and community empowerment clinics in Sierra Leone (Fourah Bay College Human Rights Clinic); Mozambique (Eduardo Mondlane University Legal Clinic); Ethiopia (Mekelle University Legal Aid Clinic); Cambodia (Panassastra University of Cambodia Legal Clinic); Turkey (Bilgi University Legal Clinic); Nigeria (Network of University Legal Aid Institutions that supports six pilot legal clinics), Ukraine (a national association for clinics which brings together over 30 clinics) and Mexico (CIDE law school clinic and ITAM public interest clinic). Currently it is engaged in promoting and supporting law clinics programs in Lebanon, China, Indonesia, Nigeria, and Afghanistan and has particular focus on indigent criminal defense, freedom of information, and community legal empowerment.

* Willingness and ability to travel for two-week periods several times a year;
* Spoken and written fluency in English and French;
* Experience of project management, including in a not-for-profit organisation;
* Excellent computer skills.

What will the Chosen Candidate Do?

As the project officer, together with the forest governance team, you will help implement FERN's annual workplan and ensure it is compliant with donor requirements. Your main responsibility will be to ensure contracts with partners and financial administration are fulfilled.
Specifically you will:

* Draft and ensure implementation of partner contracts – in co-operation with FERN campaigners, and work closely with partners to ensure campaign budgets are met;
* Support partners in preparing financial reports for donors and auditors;
* Keep FERN's illegal logging website www.loggingoff.info up-to-date, in close co-operation with our partners;
* Assess partners' needs and develop plans to ensure these gaps are filled;
* Coordinate project-related logistics, liaise with suppliers and monitor all contractual obligations;
* Create and ensure implementation of consultants, researchers and volunteer contracts, if and when appropriate;
* Assist in the preparation of funding proposals;
* Carry out general managerial and administrative tasks for the organisation as a whole, as these are shared between all staff.
