Молодший/ша юрист/ Junior National Lawyer

Global Rights Compliance (GRC) is an international legal foundation focussed on bringing perpetrators to justice for atrocity crimes. We have a presence in the Hague, London and Kyiv.

GRC is the only international organisation consisting of ICL specialists that has been consistently present in Ukraine since 2015, working with the OPG, law enforcement agencies and CSOs to document international crimes and bring about criminal accountability.

GRC is an implementing partner of the Atrocity Crimes Advisory Group (ACA).
The ACA is a multilateral initiative established by the United States, the European Union, and the United Kingdom to provide strategic advice and operational assistance to Ukraine’s Office of the Prosecutor General (OPG) in the investigation and prosecution of atrocity crimes in Ukraine. As such, GRC in Ukraine works in support of the Office of the Prosecutor General (OPG) through deploying several Mobile Justice Teams (MJTs) which assist the OPG in all aspects of investigation, case building and prosecution. Our headquarters for this project are in Kyiv, Ukraine. GRC’s MJTs operate throughout Ukraine in areas of interest to the OPG and have acquired an intimate knowledge of the conflict operating environment, and built trust-based relationships with all criminal justice system actors, relevant governmental bodies, CSOs and international partners. Our blend of technical expertise, knowledge of the Ukraine context/conflict and language proficiency is unrivalled, and is without doubt our unique selling point.

The successful candidate will assist the capacity-building efforts of Ukrainian legal professionals, primarily investigators and prosecutors, to effectively address war crimes, violations of international humanitarian law, and human rights abuses.
