Justice Rapid Response regularly sends out calls for nominations for its standby roster of experts in international justice who are ready to deploy to national, international and regional accountability and transitional justice mechanisms to help ensure those bodies have the highly specialized expertise to properly document, investigate, analyse and prosecute international core crimes and serious human rights violations. Previous deployments included support to States, the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, UN Commissions of Inquiry and Fact-Finding Missions, the International Criminal Court (ICC), international and hybrid courts, truth commissions and CSOs documenting international crimes.
The goal of this call is to increase the pool of experts who are available to deploy at short notice to national, international, and regional accountability and transitional justice mechanisms. These deployments help to ensure that justice bodies have the highly specialized expertise to properly document, investigate, analyse and prosecute international core crimes and serious human rights violations.
Prior to any deployment the Expert will raise with JRR any potential conflict of interest that may arise and which may preclude the Expert from carrying out the work impartially and objectively.
Moreover, as part of JRR’s duty of care and security processes, unless in exceptional circumstances, JRR would not deploy experts in their own country.
Note that proficiency in English is a requirement for certification for Justice Rapid Response’s Expert Roster.
JRR is committed to preventing any type of unwanted behavior, including (sexual) harassment, exploitation and abuse, financial misconduct. To realize this commitment, certification to the roster will always be subject to satisfactory references. Protection from misconduct is everyone’s responsibility and all experts deployed by JRR are requested to adhere to the Code_Of_Conduct, including the Organization’s values.
JRR adheres to the Inter-agency Misconduct Disclosure Scheme, designed to strengthen international organizations’ efforts to prevent Sexual Exploitation, Abuse and Harassment.
