This position is located in the Geneva office of United Nations Mine  Action Service (UNMAS) within the Office of the Rule of Law and  Security Institutions (OROLSI) in the Department of Peace Operations (DPO).
Established in 1997, the United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS)  works to eliminate the threat posed by mines, explosive remnants of  war and improvised explosive devices by coordinating United Nations  mine action, leading operational responses at the country level, and  supporting the development of standards, policies and norms.
