The Individuals at Risk Programme sits within the Activism Team, and is responsible for communicating with and mobilising activists around individuals who are at risk of harm, death, ill-treatment, or other abuses or denial of their human rights. Volunteers will provide general admin support to the Individuals at Risk programme and will mostly work on issuing Urgent Actions. The Urgent Action Network is a campaigning technique which initiates a worldwide rapid response to human rights violations through letters, faxes, telegrams and email appeals. The Activism Supporter Care Volunteer follows ethical principles that Amnesty International is evolving to prioritise the needs and safeguard the dignity of those with and for whom AI acts. For full details of the volunteer role, please see the attached "task form" below http://www.amnesty.org.uk/jobs_details.asp?ID=532The Policy Office forms part of the Policy and Government Affairs Team which sits within the Campaigns Department. Working closely with the advocacy office, we provide general policy for AIUK. In some cases this involves adapting International Secretariat policy to UK circumstances; in others this involves devising policy. In addition we identify possible gaps in AIUK policy or a specific need for policy making and work to address these. We work closely with the rest of the Policy and Government Affairs team to influence and shape UK domestic and foreign policy on human rights. For example, the Foreign Affairs Committee traditionally holds inquiries into the UK's human rights record and scrutinises the Foreign and Commonwealth Office's Human Rights Reports. Coordinated by the Policy Office, AIUK submits written evidence to the inquiry, putting forward our concerns and commenting on the FCO's report. AIUK representatives are then usually asked to appear before the committee to give oral evidence. This forms an important part of holding the UKG accountable for their human rights policy overseas. The Policy Office volunteer will play an important role in assisting with this process through providing administrative and research support.
