EHRAC assists lawyers and NGOs from Russia, Ukraine and the South Caucasus taking cases to the European Court of Human Rights and provides training to build the capacity of the human rights communities. Issues tackled through our work include: extrajudicial executions, torture, ‘disappearances’, freedom of expression, and ethnic discrimination. We have an exemplary record of bringing cases before the European Court, receiving worldwide media coverage from the likes of The Guardian and Newsweek for our landmark litigation work.

EHRAC is based at Middlesex University in Hendon, London. Unfortunately we can only accept candidates who already have the right to work/volunteer in the UK, as we cannot facilitate visa applications. Please consider this when applying.
