Some fresh news about our friend Jan Van de Venis, from Netherlands, ex-Jurismusser (he was working for Marree Dijxhoorn Law firm in Amersfoort) who have left his firm a couple of years ago to join Legal Dpt of Greenpeace International in Amsterdam.
He is leaving Greenpeace for a new professional adventure, seting up his own legal consultancy firm in the area of International Human Rights and Business, Environment, etc.
Hereunder the message he has just sent recently about his exciting challenge !
"Dear All,The time has come for me to leave Greenpeace International. To pick up great challenges!Some of you know this already, but for those who don't: I'll be leaving GPI per 1 November 2007 to set up:
JustLaw:A consultancy firm (most likely a law firm):- Consultancy on International Human Rights and Business (in short: "CSR from a Human Rights perspective") and Human Rights and Environment, including lectures on these topics; - Corporate Legal Advice (i.e. international contracting, labour law, collection, dispute settlement, etc.) for NGO's and companies; and- Interim work in these areas.
Stand Up For Your Rights:- An International Human Rights NGO ("charity"). Unique and with added value because of its focus on Human Rights that are intertwined with sustainable development and the future of mankind and life on this planet. Such as the right to: A clean and healthy environment; Development; Health; Children's Rights; Equal Treatment, etc.. We will focus on The Human Right to a Clean and Healthy Environment. And this more particular through:
Right to Environment:A global coalition of "green", human rights and other NGO's, individuals and corporations that want to have a clean and healthy environment accepted and codified at UN and European (ECHR) level.
I know it's quite ambitious, but someone's got to do it and now is the time!I'll keep everything rather low profile until (at least) 1 January 2008, meanwhile working on websites / texts and products. I hope to have (at least some off) my websites online soon after the new year will have started. This will be through the websites www.JustLaw.nl; www.StandUpForYourRights.org and www.RightToEnvironment.org (I've got the url's, so go ahead and bookmark them, but wait a few months before spreading the news). You can already reach me through jan@justlaw.nl "
