Status Interns are neither staff members under the Staff Regulations and Rules of the United Nations, nor officials within the meaning of the Convention on the Privileges and Immunities of the United Nations. Bilateral host country agreements with UNHCR may regulate the status of interns. Unless specifically excepted under a host country agreement, interns are subject to and must observe their obligations under local law, including laws relating to taxation and social security. Duration Internships will initially be granted for a minimum period of two months, up to a maximum of six months. Upon the agreement of the intern and the manager, an internship may be extended up to a maximum total cumulative duration of eight months for full time internships and twelve months for part-time internships, provided that the eligibility criteria continue to be met.
