Considerations 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 been involved in the commission of any of these acts. The
term “sexual exploitation” means any actual or attempted abuse of
a position of vulnerability, differential power, or trust, for sexual
purposes, including, but not limited to, profiting monetarily,
socially or politically from the sexual exploitation of another. The
term “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 women to participate in any
