US lawyer interested in internt'l human rights


Hello all,

I'm a US-trained lawyer (JD from Ohio State) currently working at a legal aid office in Palau. My dream job would be to work for an international NGO (for example, Human Rights Watch) and I wonder if getting an LLM in Human Rights Law would be the way to get started on that path. Also, would it be better to go to a US or European school?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I know that attending an LL.M. at the London School of Economics is a good start in Europe if you are looking forward to working for NGOs.
