A/HRC/33/18 6. Since the Office of Human Resources Management launched HR Insight, an online reporting tool, in August 2011, staff demographic information has been available to all permanent missions. HR Insight, based on the human resources data warehouse, allows users to retrieve information from other human resources systems, including the Integrated Management Information System (IMIS), Nucleus and Umoja. 7. The first release of the tool provided permanent missions with reports on desirable ranges, a staff list and staff details for their respective nationals, such as composition by sex and type of appointment. The reports, which are updated on a monthly basis (with a delay of approximately three months) are also available for download; in this way, permanent missions have immediate access to the reports most often requested from the Office of Human Resources Management, without the need for paper copies. The tool thus helps to make the United Nations more environmentally friendly; for example, the list of Secretariat staff is now available only on this platform, dispensing therefore with the need to print thousands of pages per year. 8. Since the first release of HR Insight, the Office of Human Resources Management has made a number of improvements, such as adding reports that inform permanent missions of Member States on the separations, appointments and forecast retirement of their nationals, and a forecast of retirements with respect to all P-5 to D-2 positions. Pursuant to the request of the General Assembly in its resolution 67/255, a table showing data on the representation of developing countries for geographical staff per month has been published online. 9. Going forward, the Office of Human Resources Management will work to make more information available online, thereby giving Member States convenient and monthly access to staff demographic information previously available only in its annual report, in this way helping to reduce the number of pages printed and the duplication of data in HR Insight and reports on the composition of the Secretariat. 10. The table in annex I provides a breakdown of all OHCHR staff members in the Professional category and above who have been selected through the established recruitment process (“regular” staff) against both regular budget posts subject to geographical distribution and extrabudgetary posts, by nationality, grade and sex as at 31 December 2015. 11. The table in annex II provides a breakdown of the following categories of additional OHCHR staff in the Professional category and above not included in the table in annex I, also by nationality, grade and sex as at 31 December 2015: (a) Staff holding appointments of less than one year; (b) Staff charged to general temporary assistance funds; (c) Staff employed as technical cooperation project personnel. 12. It should be recalled that in paragraph 14, section IX, of its resolution 63/250, the General Assembly re-emphasized that the system of geographical ranges was designed to apply to countries rather than to regions or groups. This principle was recently reiterated by the Joint Inspection Unit in a comparative analysis and benchmarking framework on staff recruitment in United Nations system organizations, focusing on gender balance and geographical distribution (see JIU/NOTE/2012/3). The data in the present report are therefore provided by country and listed in alphabetical order. 13. As at 31 December 2015, OHCHR had a total of 644 staff members in the Professional category and above, of whom 529 are considered regular staff. 14. Nationals from 122 countries are represented in the Professional and above workforce, in both geographical and non-geographical posts. The latter comprise 3
