Organization Overview 

Rights and Security International (RSI), formerly Rights Watch (UK), promotes just and effective security. For over three decades, initially in Northern Ireland and now globally, RSI has successfully advocated for a rights-based approach to national security and held Governments to account for unlawful actions taken in the name of security. Our vision is of a world that recognises that our individual freedoms are essential to our collective security. 

RSI is one of, if not the only, human rights organization that is exclusively working on national security issues. We mobilise our knowledge and expertise, in partnership with civil society globally, to address cutting-edge contemporary issues – including the weaponization of counter terrorism measures to close democratic and civil space, the use of emergency and securitized measures in response to the global health pandemic and other non-terrorism related threats, the impact of national security measures on children and vulnerable adults, including those held in IS-associated detention camps in Northeast Syria, the unlawful use of lethal force in the context of counterterrorism, and the proliferation of non-criminal counter terrorism measures. 

RSI carries out its work through innovative and high-quality research, strategic litigation, collective action with trusted partners, and advocacy at the domestic, regional and international levels. Through its work, RSI has become a critical reference point and central hub of expertise and action on issues of national security and human rights. Our work has brought about important systemic reforms and justice for individuals, and consistently informs the work of the UN, governments and other influential stakeholders. 

We have received wide acclaim for our work including receiving the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) Human Rights Prize for ‘outstanding civil society action in the defence of human rights in Europe’, the Irish World Damien Gaffney Award, and the Beacon Prize for Human Rights and were shortlisted for the Columbia University Global Freedom of Expression Award for Best Legal Services 2018. 

The work of RSI is becoming increasing relevant given the stark rise globally in national security measures that silence dissidents, disproportionately impact and/or target vulnerable and marginalised communities, or otherwise close civic and democratic space. In parallel, the obstacles for victims to access justice have significantly increased as governments hide behind the well-worn cloak of national security and at the same time are systematically dismantling vital legal protections and other safeguards. 

As the Legal and Advocacy Director, you will help lead the organization and make an impact worldwide as we increase our work with international partners and implement our exciting and innovative new strategies.

This position reports to the Executive Director. It may entail personnel management responsibilities.

Person Specification: 

• RSI is looking for a passionate and experienced human rights professional who:

• Has advanced skills in strategic litigation, legislative advocacy, UN advocacy, or grassroots activism, including the development of detailed strategic plans.
• Has experience building coalitions, ideally internationally.
• Has a demonstrable record of completing successful, complex projects in a timely manner.
• Has a strong commitment to working in a collegial and respectful manner with colleagues as well as a broader range of partners and stakeholders.
• Ideally, has expertise in gender rights.
• We are especially – but not exclusively – interested in receiving applications from candidates with expertise in the law or political context of Northern Ireland, and with an ability to conduct research and advocacy related to that context.
• You must speak and write English fluently, and fluency in other languages is a plus.
• You must have a right to work in the United Kingdom.

Responsibilities:

• Work with the Executive Director to create and implement strategic plans for specific projects as well as the organization as a whole.
• Draft and review expert legal materials on matters of international law such as international and regional human rights law, international humanitarian law, and international refugee and asylum law.
• Draft and review expert legal materials on issues of UK law.
• Develop and implement law reform and litigation strategies.
• Create and lead efforts to inform and shape public opinion, such as by drafting opinion pieces and calls to action.
• Build and strengthen an international coalition of civil society organizations and academic experts addressing national security issues from a human rights perspective.
• Build effective and lasting relationships with other key stakeholders.
• Potentially, manage a small team of law and policy specialists.
• Be a strategic leader and thinker in the field of national security and human rights.
