وظيفة شاغرة: مطلوب محلل مكتب – Desk Analyst للعمل لدى ALEF Ngo

Background of the Desk

ALEF – act for human rights is a Lebanese non-profit, non-partisan human rights watchdog organization that works on documenting, and promoting human rights violations and values in Lebanon. ALEF seeks to strengthen the respect and fulfillment of human rights as a cornerstone of social, economic, and political development. By embracing a comprehensive approach to monitor, defend, and educate on human rights, ALEF aims to complement and gear all efforts towards the achievement of an influential human rights constituency, and the realization of a durable peace.

The Human Rights Violations Monitoring Unit (HRVMU) is a unit under ALEF’s Monitoring and Advocacy Program. Through the HRVMU, ALEF contributes to building the individual and collective capacity of civil society organizations in Lebanon, to monitor human rights violations, and to hold stakeholders accountable for their obligations under international human rights law. The unit provides a preliminary analysis by shedding light on Lebanon’s progress and regression in the most pressing human rights issues. The HRVMU uses reports, studies, and other publications on various human rights-related issues to analyze where Lebanon stands currently on human rights issues. ALEF’s expertise in international human rights law, international humanitarian law, as well as national and regional legal mechanisms contributes to the monitoring and documentation process, which in turn feeds into ALEF’s evidence-based lobbying and advocacy efforts. The HRVMU has been successful in publishing a series of annual reports, studies, and publications. These reflect the current human rights situation in Lebanon and recommend actions to be taken by key stakeholders in order to improve respect for human rights.
