Background information on UN internships

The UN Secretariat (i.e. the UN organ headed by the Secretary-General) has its main headquarters in New York, with offices in Geneva, Vienna and Nairobi. Visit the following websites for information about internships at the UN in New York and its other offices:

UN Headquarters in New York
UN Office at Geneva (UNOG)
UN Office at Vienna (UNOV)
UN Office at Nairobi (UNON)

There is no UK 'office' or 'branch' of the UN (Secretariat) in London. Only one UN agency - the International Maritime Organisation - has its headquarters in the UK (for details of IMO internships click here). Other UN bodies - the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), the World Food Programme (WFP) and the UN Development Programme (UNDP) - have small offices in London. Go to www.unhcr.org.uk for details of UNHCR's intership programme.
