Програмний/а офіцер/ка / Programme Officer for Global Rights Compliance
Global Rights Compliance (‘GRC’) is a niche organization made up of international lawyers and development experts focused on “democratizing” complex international human rights, and criminal and humanitarian law. GRC has been present in Ukraine since 2015 where we work with the OPG, law enforcement agencies and CSOs to support the documentation and investigation of international crimes to bring about accountability. GRC is part of the Atrocity Crimes Advisory Group (ACA), initiated by the US, the EU, and the UK to aid Ukrainian law enforcement agencies. Special expert groups known as Mobile Justice Teams (MJTs) are composed of legal specialists who support the Prosecutor General’s Office and regional prosecutor’s offices, working closely with investigators and prosecutors to provide support in prosecuting international crimes, advising & assisting in the documentation, investigation, case building and prosecution.
MJTs operate throughout Ukraine in areas of interest to the OPG and have acquired an intimate knowledge of the conflict operating environment, and built trust-based relationships with all criminal justice system actors, relevant governmental bodies, CSOs and international partners offering a strong blend of technical expertise and knowledge of the Ukraine context/conflict.
