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 2017.
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 2017:
(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 section IX, paragraph 14, 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. The data in the present report are
therefore provided by country and listed in alphabetical order.
13.
As at 31 December 2017, OHCHR had a total of 731 staff members in the
Professional category and above, of whom 561 are considered regular staff.
14.
Nationals from 113 countries are represented in the Professional and above
workforce, in both geographical and non-geographical posts. The latter comprise
extrabudgetary posts that are not included under the system of desirable ranges (see para. 4
above). Of those 113 nationalities, 15 are underrepresented, 3 72 are considered within
range, 4 while 26 nationalities are overrepresented in the Secretariat. 5 OHCHR also has
nationals from the State of Palestine on its staff and one stateless staff member.
