Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (UN OHCHR) Humanitarian Funds Fellowship Programme 2026/2027

The UN OHCHR Humanitarian Funds Fellowship Programme offers two fellowship positions within the Humanitarian Funds Secretariat of the United Nations Human Rights Office. The fellowships are based in Geneva, Switzerland, and aim to deepen knowledge and skills related to addressing survivors of contemporary forms of slavery and/or torture within the UN system. A stipend covers basic living expenses, plus a return travel ticket and basic health insurance; the fellowship does not constitute regular UN employment.
