For purposes of this instruction, “child” means (i) the child of a staff member; (ii) the child of the spouse of a staff member (stepchild); and (iii) the spouse of a child of a staff member or a staff member’s spouse (son- or daughter-in-law). “Sibling” includes the child of both or either parent of a staff member and the child.
Org. Setting and Reporting
This internship is located in the Division of Administration, Geneva, and is under the supervision of the Chief of the Financial Resources Management Service or the internship supervisor, as appropriate. This internship is proposed from 15 July 2017 to 15 September 2017.
