• I recently submitted following news article, which was published on April 29.:

Attorneys inside and outside the administration urge Biden to cut off arms to Israel | So far more than 90 lawyers have signed on to a legal letter alleging Israel’s conduct in Gaza violates U.S. and international law.

While the letter is still circulating for signatures, so far more than 90 lawyers have signed on, including from the departments of Justice, Labor and Energy, along with lawyers at the European Commission and in the private sector.

• Please be informed that Politico shared a copy of the letter on May 7. Following newsletter includes the link.:

Politico National Security Daily https://www.politico.com/newsletters/national-security-daily/2024/05/07/more-resignations-over-israel-and-a-failed-policy-00156536

185 lawyers, including 27 currently in the administration signed the letter. The letter is dated May 7, 2024.

From the letter:

The U.S. Government’s weapons transfers to Israel likely violate our international obligations under the Geneva Conventions of 1949 and the Convention for the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide of 1948. Transfers of weapons, munitions, and military aid should cease immediately. [...].
Conclusion
While we welcome the calls of the United States Government for increased humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip, doing so while supplying Israel with unconditional military aid to continue its bombardment on the Gaza Strip is not only totally disingenuous, but also severely inadequate to fulfill the U.S.’s obligations to prevent and punish genocide, and to not encourage or assist in violations of the Geneva Conventions. The law is clear and cannot be disregarded and ignored. Serious action is needed to avoid U.S. complicity in breaches of domestic and international law. Words are not enough.

I am graduating law school this year and dream of career in international human rights, like many others.

I understand that getting "field experience" is a good idea. My question is - if I want to work in human rights law(NGO), what kind of field experience should I aim for? Volunteer work? Does it have to be law of any kind of humanitarian work abroad? And for how long should one do this, 6 months, 2 years? Any specific organizations that are good?

Thank you for sharing your experience!
