Context
The Human Rights Advisory Unit in Timor-Leste works within the United Nations Country Team to support national efforts in strengthening the promotion, protection, and integration of human rights across government, Provedoria for Human Rights and Justice, civil society, and development initiatives. The HRAU provides technical advice, capacity-building, and coordination support to ensure that international human rights standards are effectively integrated into the national laws, policies, and public services delivery. The unit works in close collaboration with state institutions, civil society, National Human Rights Institution (the Provedoria for Human Rights and Justice), and UN agencies to advance inclusive, rights-based development align with national priorities and global commitments. The Unit reports to and is functionally supported by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), headquartered in Geneva and Bangkok, ensuring coherence with international human rights mechanisms and standards, including treaty body engagement, Universal Periodic Review and thematic human rights initiatives.
In this context, UN Associate Volunteers (undergraduate students) will be primarily tasked with entry-level research in the mechanics of the international human rights system as it connects to realities on the ground as well as provision of programmatic support while gaining practical experience in and exposure to human rights and democratic governance.
