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

exploitation” means any actual or attempted abuse of a position of
vulnerability, differential power, or trust, for sexual purposes,

“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. Due regard will be paid to the importance of
recruiting the staff on as wide a geographical basis as possible. The
United Nations places no restrictions on the eligibility of men and
