Monitoring, Evaluation and Reporting Officer

LAW is an independent, non-profit organization comprised of human rights lawyers working in fragile and conflict affected areas in the Africa, Middle East and South Asia. We have a particular focus on gender equality and sexual and gender-based violence, natural resource exploitation, rule of law and accountability, and transformative justice, working to bring justice to those who need it most. LAW’s ground-breaking work has received international and local media coverage, and recognition.

The Project

Lebanon’s 15-year civil war waged from 1975 until 1990, which involved a range of local and international actors, two parallel occupations by Israel and Syria, and a string of high-profile assassinations. According to International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), 75% of Lebanese citizens have personally lived through armed conflict with 96% of citizens having been affected in some way, whether personally or through the wider consequences of armed conflict. Lebanon’s civil war led to the deaths of over 100,000 civilians and the disappearance of approximately 17,000. A general amnesty law was introduced in 1991 precluded the legal prosecution of war crimes and created discriminatory and unequal legal protections based on status. As a result, violations and abuses against ordinary citizens cannot be prosecuted under the law. In addition, there have been a series of further selective amnesty laws since 2005.  Hence, to date, accountability for the human rights violations committed during the civil war has largely been absent and the use of transitional justice mechanisms in Lebanon has been limited.

LAW will focus on women victims and survivors from the civil war until current time. The project will offer psychosocial support, legal assistance and avenues for storytelling to empower and enable survivors to express their experiences and to address their legal and psychosocial needs

LAW is currently looking for a motivated and experienced monitoring and evaluation officer to bring their knowledge, relevant skills of learning, and project management in order to provide support to colleagues on the programme
