Intern - Human Rights [temporary]
Vor 2 Tagen
The Office of the United Nations (UN) High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) is the Secretariat department responsible for strengthening international human rights mechanisms; enhancing equality and countering discrimination; combating impunity and strengthening accountability and the rule of law; integrating human rights in development and in the economic sphere; widening the democratic space; and early warning and protection of human rights in situations of conflict, violence and insecurity.
This announcement broadcasts international internship assignments with the National Institutions and Regional Mechanisms Section (NIRMS). National Human Rights Institutions (NHRIs) perform core protection issues, such as the prevention of torture and degrading treatment, summary executions, arbitrary detention and disappearances, or the protection of human rights defenders and have an equally important role in advancing all aspects of the rule of law, including with regard to the judiciary, law enforcement agencies and the correctional system. In addition, National Human Rights Institutions contribute to effective Parliaments (ideally with a Human Rights body), strong and dynamic civil society organizations, alert and responsive media, school systems with human rights education programmes at all levels and, generally, a society encouraging the objective of a universal culture of human rights. Located within the Field Operations and Technical Cooperation Division (FOTCD), the National Institutions and Regional Mechanisms Section works closely with and supports the establishment and strengthening of National Human Rights Institutions and Regional Human Rights Mechanisms with an aim of supporting in the implementation of their broad mandates to promote and protect human rights.
Based in Geneva, Switzerland, under the overall guidance of the Chief of Section, the intern reports to the Human Rights Officer in the work unit. This assignment may be offered for an initial period of three (3) months, renewable for a combined period of six (6) months, upon further approval by the supervisor.
This internship is an UNPAID and full-time engagement that provides a framework through which students from diverse academic backgrounds gain exposure to the work of the United Nations by way of their service within Secretariat entities. Applicants should have a demonstrated keen interest in the work of the United Nations with a personal commitment to the ideals of the Charter, and have the demonstrated ability to successfully interact with individuals of different cultural backgrounds and beliefs - which includes willingness to understand and be tolerant of differing opinions and views.
