The Role
The South East Asia (SEA) team works toward an end to the death penalty in the region. We do this through casework on individual strategic cases, which often entails engaging in in-depth investigations, and through political and public advocacy as appropriate. Our work is diverse and constantly evolving to respond to changes in the domestic and regional death penalty landscape.

The SEA Death Penalty Lead Lawyer is responsible for managing the SEA death penalty work and team, under the guidance of the Head of Death Penalty – Africa and South East Asia.
