• Submitting communications/cases to the African Commission or Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights;
• Assisting the UN Special Rapporteurs on Extrajudicial Killing and on Health, with preparing their reports to the
• UN Human Rights Council;
• Conducting a gender audit of the University

Some of the Centre’s projects relate to access to information, the rights of persons with disabilities and editing of publications.

Consult the Centre’s website for more information on the Centre (www.chr.up.ac.za)

Students should apply before the end of February to [email protected], with a CV, academic record and a brief letter of motivation. Students will be informed of the outcome early in March.

Students will be required to devote some hours (20 hours) to the internship in the first semester, but the majority of internship hours are to be devoted during the second semester.
