Mission and objectivesThe Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights is the leading United Nations entity in the field of human rights, with a unique mandate to promote and protect all human rights for all people.
ContextIn Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, and Israel, the ongoing crises have led to a significant need for tracking incidents and monitoring the human rights situation. Organisations face challenges in accessing timely and accurate information on the ground. Your role as a volunteer is crucial in addressing these gaps. OHCHR gathers data from open-source platforms, including social media, to track incidents and collect essential information. This effort aims to clarify the evolving human rights situation and contribute to OHCHR’s broader reporting and advocacy objectives. Volunteers will analyse open-source information and synthesise data to inform the organisation’s strategic responses. Through this assignment, online Volunteers will not only enhance their knowledge of the human rights situation in Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, and Israel but also gain exposure to the practical application of qualitative and quantitative analysis methods in a conflict-affected environment. This unique learning opportunity will allow volunteers to improve their skills in data analysis, open-source research, and incident tracking. Four hours of training will be provided to online Volunteers during the orientation phase of the project. The expected start date is October 17th, 2024. 
Task Description We are looking for 5 online volunteers to perform the following task: Monitor and track incidents by reviewing open-source information from social media platforms and other online sources related to the situation in Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, and Israel. Verify and ensure the accuracy of information by cross-referencing data from various sources to confirm the reliability of incidents and reports. Tag and categorise approximately 5-10 daily incidents from online sources to ensure effective data organisation and analysis. Update and maintain a database with the verified information, ensuring consistency and accuracy of the data. Contribute to analytical reports by summarising findings and providing insights into key trends and emerging issues in the region. Create data for timelines of critical events and incidents, ensuring a chronological understanding of the evolving situation. Translate content from Arabic to English to support the analysis and reporting of incidents. Participate in 4 hours of remote training during the project's orientation phase and collaborate with the team. Attend 1-2 hours of weekly meetings in the Central European Time (CET) zone for coordination and progress updates.
