UNRWA is committed to achieving gender parity at all levels of staffing under the current<\/p>\n
UN-wide gender agenda and strongly encourages applications from qualified applicants from<\/p>\n

regard to geographic diversity. All employment decisions are made on the basis of<\/p>\n

inclusive environment of mutual respect. Reasonable accommodation for applicants with<\/p>\n
disabilities may be provided to support participation in the recruitment process when<\/p>\n
requested and indicated in the application.<\/p>\n
UNRWA Considerations<\/p>\n
UNRWA staff are expected to uphold the highest standards of efficiency, competence,<\/p>\n
neutrality, impartiality and integrity. This includes respect for and commitment to human<\/p>\n
rights, diversity and non-violent means of dealing with all kinds of conflict. Only persons who<\/p>\n
fully and unconditionally commit to these values should consider applying for UNRWA jobs.<\/p>\n

violations of international human rights law, violations of international humanitarian law,<\/p>\n
sexual exploitation, sexual abuse, or sexual harassment, or if there are reasonable grounds to<\/p>\n
believe that they have been involved in the commission of any of these acts. Candidates who<\/p>\n
have committed crimes other than minor traffic offences may not be considered for<\/p>\n
employment. The Agency may disqualify applicants who have separated for reason of<\/p>\n
misconduct, who left a UN Agency while misconduct processes were pending, or who appear<\/p>\n
on the UN Sanctions List.<\/p>\n
