CONSENT
The UNHCR workforce consists of many diverse nationalities, cultures, languages and opinions. UNHCR seeks to sustain and strengthen this diversity to ensure equal opportunities as well as an inclusive working environment for its entire workforce. Applications are encouraged from all qualified candidates without distinction on grounds of race, colour, sex, national origin, age, religion, disability, sexual orientation and gender identity. 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.

ԾՐԱԳՐԻ ՄԱՍԻՆ : 

Operational Context:
Armenia ratified the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol (hereinafter jointly referred to as the 1951 Convention) in 1993. The current Law on Refugees and Asylum of the Republic of Armenia was adopted in 2008 and extensively amended in 2015 bringing the legal framework further in line with international standards. UNHCR supports the authorities of Armenia with development of fair and efficient asylum procedures. Access to legal assistance at all stages of the asylum procedures is an important element in establishing fair and transparent refugee status determination procedures and strengthening the quality of decision-making. It can assist in the identification of international protection needs of applicants by helping them put forward all the information relevant to their refugee claims, as well as discourage the submission of false claims by dispelling misguided or exploitative information, and thus contributes to the efficiency and expediency of the process.
In the past few years, a number of asylum-seekers have expressed concern regarding their access to legal aid and the possibilities for an effective remedy in Armenia. The Law on Refugees and Asylum and the Law on the Profession of Advocates provide for free legal assistance for asylum-seekers through the Office of the Public Defender (PDO) under the Chamber of Advocates of Armenia. However, initial assessments have identified a number of legal, capacity and operational constraints reportedly hindering the effective exercise of this right. At the stage of first instance asylum procedures, legal aid is limited to provision of information and counselling only while legal assistance and representation are to be available at the stage of appealing negative asylum decisions. In practice, legal representation at the first instance procedures is available in a limited number of cases and only when it is provided by the UNHCR partner NGO. Moreover, due to serious systemic constraints, such as the heavy workload and limited experience in asylum cases among PDO staff, also the lack of interpretation services, serious challenges have been reported as regards the access to and quality of legal aid.
The 2019 Programme of the Government of Armenia and the 2021 Concept on State Management of Migration express a commitment to further strengthen the international protection system and improve the refugee protection legislation.
Under the Comprehensive and Enhanced Partnership Agreement Between the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Armenia, of the other part, the parties have agreed to cooperate in the area of the development and implementation of national legislation and practices as regards international protection, with a view to satisfying the provisions of the 1951 Convention and other relevant international instruments, such as the European Convention on Human Rights, and to ensuring respect for the principle of non-refoulement.
Given UNHCR’s mandate and role in Armenia, global experience as well as its fruitful and longstanding relationship with the authorities of Armenia, it is planning to undertake a study to assess whether current law and practice regarding the provision of legal aid in Armenia are in line with regional and international standards. This study therefore represents a first review and analysis of the legal framework and practice related to the provision of legal aid to asylum-seekers in Armenia. As a result of the study, a report will be produced.

ԿԱԶՄԱԿԵՐՊՈւԹՅԱՆ ՄԱՍԻՆ : 

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) is a humanitarian and non-political organization mandated by the United Nations to protect refugees and help them find lasting solutions to their problems. UNHCR's activities are based on a framework of international refugee and statelessness law and standards that includes the 1951 United Nations Convention relating to the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol, 1954 and 1961 Statelessness Conventions, as well as an array of international and regional treaties on human rights and humanitarian law. The mandate of UNHCR is the international protection of refugees and stateless persons. The provision of international protection by UNHCR implies ensuring the basic human rights of refugees and stateless persons. UNHCR has presence in the Republic of Armenia since 1992, under a Co-operation Agreement signed with the Government. UNHCR's work in Armenia presently concentrates on capacity-building activities geared towards strengthening national authorities, laws and policies to ensure the proper handling of refugee and statelessness issues, the reception and care of refugees, the promotion of self-reliance of refugees and the realization of durable solutions. These are carried out in combination with other activities such as advocacy, information dissemination and monitoring. The internship shall give an opportunity to familiarize the intern with all of UNHCR protection activities with a focus on statelessness.
