**UNDP** works in about 170 countries and territories, helping to eradicate poverty, reduce inequalities and exclusion, and build resilience so countries can sustain progress. As the UN’s development agency, UNDP plays a critical role in helping countries achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.

The **UNDP Crisis Bureau** aims to ensure that the Organization’s development efforts incorporate necessary elements of crisis prevention and timely recovery support. This requires a focus on skills and capacities in national institutions and communities - in order that risks of disasters and violent conflict are minimized and a foundation for sustainable development secured. The overall goal of the **UNDP Office in Geneva** is to support the active and strategic engagement of Crisis Bureau, on behalf of UNDP, with Geneva-based UN and other external humanitarian, human rights and development partners whose work is vital for the successful implementation of UNDP’s crisis prevention and recovery mandate.

In UNDP’s Crisis Bureau, **the Rule of Law, Security and Human Rights Team** leads UNDP’s global practice in this field and provides policy advice and programmatic support to UNDP Regional Hubs and Country Offices in the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of human rights, rule of law, justice and security policy and programmes.

**Duties and Responsibilities**:
The internship will be with the Rule of Law, Human Rights and Security Team. Under the overall supervision and guidance of the Policy Specialist in Geneva, and in collaboration with team members in the Geneva and New York and Regional Bureaux, the human rights intern is expected to support with the follow up of formal and informal debates within the framework of the Human Rights Council with the objective to produce targeted and general information in reference to human rights and ensure its timely communication to relevant Country Offices, Regional hubs and Bureauxs and thematic units in Headquarters. Moreover, the intern will provide overall support to the Human Rights team and contribute to UNDP’s work and initiatives on human rights at the global and corporate level in line with the duties described below.
