Internship Description: The Asia Division of Human Rights Watch (HRW) is seeking an intern to provide research assistance to our North Korea researcher for a minimum of two days per week. The internship will be at least three months in duration and scheduling can be flexible. The internship will be based in the London office of Human Rights Watch or in Seoul. This internship is unpaid. Human Rights Watch will reimburse London-based interns' travel and lunch expenses in accordance with HRW policy.
Students are often able to arrange academic credit, as HRW
internships often offer direct exposure to the workings of an
international human rights organization, close supervision by the HRW
staff, interaction with other U.S. and international organizations and
foreign and domestic government officials, and opportunities to attend
lectures, trainings and special events relating to human rights.
Students should check with their individual academic institutions for
requirements.

Applicants should be
well-organized, self-motivated and reliable, with excellent attention
to detail. Computer skills and experience using the internet as a
