Will there be any other opportunities in the near future? I think I might have left it a bit late to apply this time
Hello Adam, how can you credibly claim ‘to explain why human rights matter’, if all people who work on the project – except you, I suppose – receive a remuneration of exactly 0? Or would you say that this non-existing salary constitutes ‘just and favourable remuneration’ according to Article 23(3) UDHR?
Robin – thank you for the comment. We have a paid post, which is advertised separately. The Project Volunteers are exactly that – volunteers. If they don’t want to volunteer, they don’t have to. I see the issue though and I am working on it.
I know how difficult it can be to distil complicated technical concepts into clear layman’s terms without losing or warping the sense of them, as that’s something I do professionally. I wish you the best of luck with this; we desperately need a user-friendly and reliable one-stop guide to human rights, and how the law works.
