The Opportunity

The Court is participating in the global fight to end impunity, and through international criminal justice, the Court aims to hold those responsible accountable for their crimes and to help prevent the crimes from happening again. You can contribute to this cause by joining the ICC.

Organisational Context

 

The HR Section provides a unified and coordinated approach to HR matters across the Court and carries out all human resources activities in an efficient and timely manner whilst serving as an HR advisor to management within the Court. The Visiting Professional will work as part of the Legal and Policy Team within the HR Section under the supervision of the HR Officer (Legal and Policy).
