AMICC accepts
intern applications throughout the year from recent college
graduates, graduate students, and law students. Preferred candidates
will be able to commit to a minimum of four months of full-time
work. Undergraduate and part-time candidates will be considered.
Internships are unpaid.
A strong background in political science, international affairs,
or law is a plus, as is experience working with local or national
government representatives or conducting outreach activities.
Intern duties include researching ICC issues in the US, outreach
to member organizations and alliances, and some administrative
tasks. During the length of their stay, interns will be able
to attend relevant meetings at the United Nations, including
sessions of the governing body of the ICC, the Assembly of
States Parties. The experience would be especially valuable
for someone with an interest in international criminal law
or US foreign policy.
Substantive research and drafting and support to our work
are the most rewarding aspects of our interns' service for
them and for us. In order to move into this into work as early
and effectively as possible in their brief time here, interns
must arrive with basic knowledge of the Court's fundamental
structure, law, governance, jurisdiction and operations. This
should include the major organizational elements of the ICC;
the bodies that govern it; the titles, functions and responsibilities
of its most senior officials; the main categories and characteristics
of the crimes the Court will try and the conditions that make
a crime eligible for the Court's jurisdiction.
Interviews of intern candidates will include simple, non-technical
questions to test this knowledge. To prepare for this, we
encourage candidates to read all of the Rome Statute to get
a sense of the Court as a whole and to appreciate the breadth
and inclusiveness of this extraordinary document. They should
then carefully review Part 4; Part 2: articles 5, 6, 7, 8,
12, 13, 15; and Part 6: articles 66 and 67 and Parts 11 and
12.
As a program of the United Nations Association, USA, AMICC
