If one wanted to work for such humanitarian organizations as "Human Rights Watch" or "Geneva Convention"...

... what would one have to do and study, and do jobs like these from people who work there more than a cleaner or a telephone call operator like actual (what's the word here, agent, representative, Human Rights campaigner?) members of the team and force require top grades like degrees not to mention an ability to risk your life?

By the way, how, if at all, POLITICAL or RELATED to politics, ARE such organizations, even if they often criticize the government? And Geneva Convention (is it a human rights organization and is it similar to HRW?) is a human rights organisation that helps victims of WAR, correct, or what else do they do?

Must or does it help to be thick-skinned (read tough) to do such jobs, and how come some if not many of them are famous and work not in little known but well known cases such as famous wars or people who are famous who govern certain war torn countries be it Chechnya or Iraq or Afghanistan or anything else similar?

If one has communication problems, is often in a stage of dread at the mere mention of certain words, has constant doubts, not much computer skills, inability to handle painful truth not to mention help the victims and confront the perpetrators, would one ever be hired to work for either HRW or similar organizations or Geneva Convention, thanks.

:) Or rather :- (What's the sign for curiosity whilst having a wondering state of mind?)
