UNECE - Internship in international environmental law

The secretariat to the Aarhus Convention at the United Nations office at Geneva offers four three month internships to graduate or post-graduate students in law for the follow periods each year: January - March; April - June; July - September; October - December.

During the internship, interns have the opportunity to apply their legal skills in the UN context, working closely with officers in the secretariat and gaining hands-on experience in many aspects of servicing a high profile international environmental treaty. A notable component of the internship is the opportunity to support the work of the Aarhus Convention's innovative Compliance Committee, an international committee that hears cases brought by members of the public and governments seeking to ensure the Convention's rights are upheld.
