Campaign group Justice has appointed human rights lawyer Andrea Coomber (pictured) as its new director. <\/p>\n

Coomber, currently legal director of the international human rights organisation Interights, replaces Roger Smith. Smith announced his decision to step down in May after 11 years in the post. <\/p>\n

Coomber will become the fifth director in Justices 55-year history when she takes up the post on 18 February 2013. <\/p>\n

She said: Justice has a rich history in this country and an international reputation for excellence in providing thoughtful legal analysis of critical rule of law and human rights issues. <\/p>\n

I am honoured to be part of its future and look forward to working with staff to build on its many successes. <\/p>\n

Coomber is an Australian-qualified lawyer who spent five years working in human rights in New Delhi, Geneva and Cairo. She joined Interights in 2002 and has advised and co-represented applicants before the European Court of Human Rights, the African Commission on Human and Peoples Rights and UN treaty bodies. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
