Notice spéciale

• This position is temporarily available until July 2021 with possible extension. If the
  selected candidate is a staff member from the United Nations Secretariat, the selection will be
  administered as a temporary assignment.
• A current staff member who holds a fixed-term, permanent or continuing appointment may
  apply for temporary positions no more than one level above his or her current grade.
  However, a current staff member who holds an appointment at the G-6 or G-7 level may also
  apply to temporary positions in the Professional category up to and including the P-3 level,
  subject to meeting all eligibility and other requirements for the position. A staff member
  holding a temporary appointment shall be regarded as an external candidate when applying
  for other positions, and may apply for other temporary positions at any level, subject to
  section 5.7 below and staff rule 4.16 (b) (ii). Therefore, a staff member holding a temporary
  appointment in the General Service or related categories may only apply to positions within
  those categories. For full information on eligibility requirements, please refer to section 5 of
  ST/AI/2010/4Rev.1 on Temporary Appointments. In its resolution 66/234, the General
  Assembly further “stressed that the Secretary-General should not recur to the practice of
  temporarily filling posts in the Professional and higher categories with General Service staff
  members who have not passed the General Service to Professional category examination other
  than on an exceptional basis, and requests the Secretary-General to ensure that temporary
  occupation of such posts by the General Service staff shall not exceed a period of one year,
  effective 1 January 2013…” Consequently, eligible candidates in the General Service or
  related categories for temporary job openings in the Professional category that have not
  passed the competitive examination may be selected only on an exceptional basis endorsed by
  the Office of Human Resources Management where no other suitable candidate could be
  identified.
• While this temporary assignment may provide the successful applicant with an opportunity
  to gain new work experience, the selection for this position is for a limited period and has no
  bearing on the future incumbency of the post.
• Subject to the funding source of the position, the eligibility for this temporary job opening
  may be limited to candidates based at the duty station.
• This temporary job opening may be limited to “internal candidates,” who have been
  recruited through a competitive examination administered according to staff rule 4.16 or staff
  selection process including the review of a central review body established according to staff
  rule 4.15.
• Staff members of the United Nations common system organizations who will reach the
  mandatory age of separation or retirement within the duration of the current temporary need
  period are not eligible to apply. Submitting an application or selection for the current
  temporary job opening does not delay or increase the mandatory age of separation.
• Retirees above the mandatory age of separation who wish to be considered for the current
  temporary job opening must indicate the reason for their last separation as “retirement.” Such
  retirees shall not be employed by the Organization, unless (a) the operational requirements of
  the Organization cannot be met by staff members who are qualified and available to perform
  the required functions; and (b) the proposed employment would not adversely affect the
  career development or redeployment opportunities of other staff members and represents both
  a cost-effective and operationally sound solution to meet the needs of the service.
• Pursuant to section 7.11 of ST/AI/2012/2/Rev.1, candidates recruited through the young
  professionals programme who have not served for a minimum of two years in the position of
  their initial assignment are not eligible to apply to this position.

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.

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.
