Seeking justice with the United Nations A passion for human rights inspired a UniSA law graduate to travel abroad and support international communities in need. During his studies, Lachlan Merrigan (pictured) received a UniSA scholarship to intern with the United Nations Assistance to the Khmer Rouge Trials (UNAKRT) at the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC). These courts were established to bring senior leaders from Democratic Kampuchea to trial, who are alleged to have committed Crimes Against Humanity in the 1970s. Lachlan supported senior lawyers and international experts in the Office of Co-Prosecution to prepare for one of the trials. “I worked with a team from around the world to analyse facts, conduct legal research and write a submission for the Office’s trial brief. “I really enjoyed the opportunity to develop a global perspective of the legal profession and interpret the law differently – the experience encouraged me to step outside my comfort zone.” REAL-WORLD EXPERIENCE Practical learning is important, so we incorporate hands-on experience into your degree.
