L’ONU recrute un stagiaire en informatique publique à Génève

Cadre organisationnel

The internship is located in the Geneva office of the United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS) of the Department of Peacekeeping Operations (DPKO).

Year after year, thousands of people are killed or injured by mines, explosive remnants of war and improvised explosive devices. Many are disabled for life. The situation is particularly worrisome in protracted conflicts. UNMAS plays a key role in mitigating explosive hazards through clearance, stockpile destruction, risk education, victim assistance and advocacy. The Geneva office acts as its humanitarian hub and work with humanitarian organizations to integrate mine action in humanitarian responses and policies. It also coordinates the UN positions and statements in relation to the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention (APMBC), the Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM), the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons (CCW), Implementation Support Unit in Geneva of the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) and supports field operations with policy guidance.

UNMAS coordinates the Mine Action Area of Responsibility and is the ‘provider of last resort’ for mine action within the Global Protection Cluster led by UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR). The group is composed of UN agencies, NGOs and international organizations who work together to improve the impact and reach of mine action. The NGO Humanity and Inclusion (HI) co-coordinates the group at the global level.

The UNMAS/DPKO Geneva internship is for six months. The internship is UNPAID and full-time. Interns work five days per week under the supervision of a staff member in the office to which they are assigned. The incumbent will work in close collaboration with the Communication Team based in New York.

Charte des Nations Unies

Aux termes du paragraphe 3 de l’Article 101 de la Charte des Nations Unies, la considération dominante dans le recrutement du personnel doit être la nécessité d’assurer à l’Organisation les services de personnes possédant les plus hautes qualités de travail, de compétence et d’intégrité. Aucun candidat ne sera pris en considération par l’ONU s’il s’est rendu coupable de violation du droit international des droits de l’homme ou du droit international humanitaire, d’exploitation sexuelle, d’atteinte sexuelle ou d’infraction autre qu’une infraction mineure au code de la route, ou s’il existe des motifs raisonnables de croire que le candidat a été impliqué dans la commission de l’un de ces actes. L’expression « exploitation sexuelle » désigne le fait de profiter ou de tenter de profiter d’un état de vulnérabilité, d’un rapport de force inégal ou de rapports de confiance à des fins sexuelles, y compris mais non exclusivement en vue d’en tirer un avantage pécuniaire, social ou politique. L’expression « atteinte sexuelle » désigne toute intrusion physique à caractère sexuel commise par la force, sous la contrainte ou à la faveur d’un rapport inégal, ou la menace d’une telle intrusion.

Sera dûment prise en considération l’importance d’un recrutement effectué sur une base géographique aussi large que possible.
