Mission and objectives

The mission of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) is to work for the protection of all human rights for all people; to help empower people to realize their rights; and to assist those responsible for upholding such rights in ensuring that they are implemented.

In carrying out its mission OHCHR will:

Give priority to addressing the most pressing human rights violations, both acute and chronic, particularly those that put life in imminent peril;
Focus attention on those who are at risk and vulnerable on multiple fronts;
Pay equal attention to the realization of civil, cultural, economic, political, and social rights, including the right to development; and
Measure the impact of its work through the substantive benefit that is accrued, through it, to individuals around the world.
Operationally, OHCHR works with governments, legislatures, courts, national institutions, civil society, regional and international organizations, and the United Nations system to develop and strengthen capacity, particularly at the national level, for the protection of human rights in accordance with international norms.

Institutionally, OHCHR is committed to strengthening the United Nations human rights programme and to providing it with the highest quality support. OHCHR is committed to working closely with its United Nations partners to ensure that human rights form the bedrock of the work of the United Nations.

Assignment context

OHCHR in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT) is, among other, engaged in capacity-building of duty-bearers and rights-holders, institutions and civil society, on International human rights standards. This is done through regular training delivery, awareness raising, technical assistance, or guidance to partners on how to integrate human rights standards in domestic law and practice.

As a part of such capacity-building work, OHCHR OPT has developed an online platform for e-learning, online self-paced courses on various topics including Rights of Persons with Disabilities, Gender Equality, Human Rights Treaty Bodies, and International Humanitarian Law.

The substantive content for three of these courses is already developed and available in Arabic Language, as three different scenarios which need to be turned into interactive graphic content to facilitate delivery to professional audiences. The content of the scenarios is in line with OHCHR human rights learning methodology, and learning material developed for training of professional audiences.

Therefore, the Office seeks a UNV to work online and provide support with the development of graphic animated content, including text-to-speech voiceover and text captions that will be used to present the substance to audiences. Work using AI tools for graphic animation is acceptable.

The final content will be developed in the Arabic Language.
