Legal Adviser

vor 3 Wochen

Wien, Österreich OSCE Vollzeit

**Background**:
The OSCE has a comprehensive approach to security that encompasses politico-military, economic and environmental, and human aspects. It therefore addresses a wide range of security-related concerns, including arms control, confidence
- and security-building measures, human rights, national minorities, democratization, policing strategies, counter-terrorism and economic and environmental activities. All 57 participating States enjoy equal status, and decisions are taken by consensus on a politically, but not legally binding basis.

The OSCE Secretariat in Vienna assists the Chair in its activities, and provides operational and administrative support to the field operations, and, as appropriate, to other institutions.

The Office of Legal Affairs provides legal services OSCE-wide with respect to public international law, financial and contractual matters, and legal issues related to the structure and activities of the OSCE. The Office also develops and strengthens the overall regulatory framework of the OSCE and advises on its implementation, including with respect to international civil service law.

The Office of Legal Affairs sits within the Office of the Secretary General, which in turn plays a key role in supporting the Secretary General in the effective implementation of their mandate and specific tasks given to them by OSCE participating States. This includes primarily assisting the Secretary General in their activities, serving as a focal point for liaison and support to the Chairperson-in-Office, co-ordinating policy advice provided to the Secretary General and the Chair as well as management decisions taken by the Secretary General.

**Tasks and Responsibilities**:
Providing legal advice on issues arising in relation to early conflict warning, conflict prevention, crisis management and post conflict rehabilitation, including by participating in task forces;
Providing legal advice on issues concerning the legal status and privileges and immunities of the OSCE and its officials;
Reviewing, providing legal advice in the negotiation and interpretation of legal instruments, such as agreements, memoranda of understanding, or other legal materials relevant to the work of the Organization;
Providing legal advice on representation or procedure in the OSCE decision-making bodies;
Providing legal advice in the negotiation or interpretation of commercial contracts, such as for the lease of premises, as well as on issues concerning intellectual property rights and insurance;
Providing legal advice on internal justice cases, including by examining claims by or against the Organization and its officials;
Performing extensive legal research and analysis for the preparation of legal opinions, studies, reports or correspondence;
Performing other related duties as required.

**Necessary Qualifications**:
First-level university degree in law with specialization in public international law;
A minimum of six years of relevant professional experience, including a minimum of two years at the international level;
Excellent interpersonal and analytical skills;
Professional fluency in English with excellent communication (both oral and written) skills; knowledge of other OSCE working languages is an asset;
Demonstrated gender awareness and sensitivity, and an ability to integrate a gender perspective into tasks and activities;
Ability and willingness to work as a member of team, with people of different cultural, and religious backgrounds, different gender, and diverse political views, while maintaining impartiality and objectivity;

**Remuneration Package**:
Monthly remuneration is around EUR 7,300, with the actual monthly salary depending on post adjustment and family status. OSCE salaries are exempt from taxation in Austria. Social benefits will include possibility of participation in the Cigna medical insurance scheme and the OSCE Provident Fund. Other allowances and benefits are similar to those offered under the United Nations Common System.

Please note that appointments are normally made at step 1 of the applicable OSCE salary scale.

The OSCE retains the discretion to re-advertise/re-post the vacancy, to cancel the recruitment, to offer an appointment at a lower grade or to offer an appointment with a modified job description or for a different duration.

The OSCE is a non-career organization committed to the principle of staff rotation, therefore the maximum period of service in this post is 7 years.
