Assessment
No assessment method is required for this position.
Short-listed
candidates may be contacted by the hiring team directly if further
information is needed during the review of their application.

Special Notice
The
duration of the internship generally ranges from three months to a
maximum of six months. Please  indicate your preferred internship period
in your cover letter.

Please note internships are unpaid. The
Mechanism interns are responsible for all internship-related expenses
that they incur. Interns must therefore be able to cover their costs of
travel, insurance, accommodation, as well as living expenses during the
internship period. External sources of funding may be available – please
also check our website. The United Nations accepts no responsibility
for costs arising from accidents and/or illness incurred during an
internship. Therefore, upon award of an internship, interns are
responsible for securing adequate insurance coverage and are required to
sign and return a statement confirming their understanding and
acceptance of these conditions of service.

Interns must keep
confidential any and all unpublished information obtained during the
course of the internship and not publish any reports or papers based on
such information except with the explicit written authorisation of the
Chief of Human Resources of the Mechanism. Interns are bound by the same
duties and obligations as staff members, and the information to which
an intern has access in the course of the internship must not be
divulged to external parties. Each prospective intern must sign the
Acceptance and Undertaking Form to indicate their understanding and
acceptance of this stipulation.


The
United Nations is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive
environment of mutual respect. The United Nations recruits and employs
staff regardless of gender identity, sexual orientation, race,
religious, cultural and ethnic backgrounds or disabilities. Reasonable
accommodation for applicants with disabilities may be provided to
support participation in the recruitment process when requested and
indicated in the application.

There should be no expectation of employment by the United Nations or the Mechanism upon completion of the internship.

ALL
of the documents listed below are required. Incomplete applications
will not be reviewed. Due to the number of applications, only
short-listed candidates will be contacted.

application submitted via https:careers.un.org:
1. A cover letter (including an available start and end date for the internship);
2. Two letters of recommendation preferably from academic or professional referees;

United Nations Considerations
According
to article 101, paragraph 3, of the Charter of the United Nations, the
paramount consideration in the employment of the staff is the necessity
of securing the highest standards of efficiency, competence, and
integrity. Candidates will not be considered for employment with the
United Nations if they have committed violations of international human
rights law, violations of international humanitarian law, sexual
exploitation, sexual abuse, or sexual harassment, or if there are
reasonable grounds to believe that they have been involved in the
commission of any of these acts. The term “sexual exploitation” means
any actual or attempted abuse of a position of vulnerability,
differential power, or trust, for sexual purposes, including, but not
limited to, profiting monetarily, socially or politically from the
sexual exploitation of another. The term “sexual abuse” means the actual
or threatened physical intrusion of a sexual nature, whether by force
or under unequal or coercive conditions. The term “sexual harassment”
means any unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature that might reasonably be
expected or be perceived to cause offence or humiliation, when such
conduct interferes with work, is made a condition of employment or
creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive work environment, and when
the gravity of the conduct warrants the termination of the
perpetrator’s working relationship. Candidates who have committed crimes
other than minor traffic offences may not be considered for employment.
