What exactly is the Nominating Institution or Organisation Form and do I always have to include it with my application?
Please note that you always have to include this form. In accordance with the applicable regulations for internships within the UN system, candidates are requested to present a nomination by an authority (university, government institution, sponsoring organisation or private enterprise). This ensures that the organisation can verify that the candidate is known to the institution and is, generally speaking, “in good standing.” As stated, a nomination does not imply any further obligation on part of the institution. The only “obligation” imaginable is that occasionally the organisation might wish to contact the institution in order to get a further insight into the personality of the candidate. As far as possible sponsoring is concerned, appropriate arrangements, if any, are the responsibility of the candidate and the UN does not get involved in this area at all. Note that all applications submitted without this form are deemed incomplete.
