Interns perform legal research and writing on a variety of human rights issues.
Interns research not only the respective jurisprudences of these international tribunals but also the legal traditions of the U.S. and other countries. The interns' activities are not academic exercises. It recognizes that it is essential at this point that the human rights tribunals of these organizations incorporate an expansive view of human rights and rigorous legal analyses in their respective jurisprudences as their parent organizations grow in power and authority. To this end, Rights International submits pleadings drawing upon the expertise of some of the leading international human rights and comparative law scholars and practitioners. Rights International also submits amicus curiae et commissae briefs to these tribunals and national courts.
