General: The United Nations Selection Assistance Team (UN SAT) assists and advises Police Contributing Countries (PCCs) in selecting national law enforcement personnel to serve as UN civilian police officers in United Nations peacekeeping operations. Assistance to PCCs includes assessment of personnel designated by the countries at their request and conduct of pre-deployment briefings. 2. The UN Selection Assistance Team should: a. Provide advice on strategies for initiating/improving pre-deployment training. b. Encourage PCCs to conduct pre-selection screening. c. Encourage PCCs to select and train qualified female police officers. d. Identify potential candidates for leadership positions in the mission. e. Advise PCCs on policy guidelines and the activities of UN peacekeeping operations. f. Brief the prospective candidates on mission-related subjects. 3. Pre-deployment assessments have increased the overall efficiency and operational effectiveness of the missions by reducing the period required for the induction of United Nations civilian police personnel and the time lost due to re-tests and repatriations. In addition, they have contributed to a smooth and expeditious deployment of police officers to the field. 4. The development of standardized pre-deployment procedures by United Nations Headquarters in New York also reflects the efforts of PCCs to establish a deployment capability through the identification and preparation of standby personnel to be deployed to any given mission. 5. Functions: Upon the request of PCCs, the role of the UN SAT is to assist and advise in the selection of national law enforcement personnel to meet the minimum requirements established for UN civilian police officers. In performing these functions, the Team will administer the mandatory field mission induction assessments prior to the deployment/rotation of the selected contingent. The Team may also assist PCCs in their development of a rapid deployment capability in the form of standby personnel. 6. The UN SAT is not responsible for conducting the selection of personnel on behalf of the requesting country. 7. In its advisory capacity, the UN SAT members will advise the PCCs on those peacekeeping operations in which the United Nations civilian police officers serve, provide information on policy guidelines with respect to service in such operations and provide guidance and material on the current United Nations Police Officers Course (UNPOC) curricula. The purpose of this advice is to facilitate the PCCs in their efforts to select appropriate personnel and to develop and implement pre-deployment training. 8. To raise the awareness of the presented candidates about the tasks, operational environment and current conditions of the field mission to which they will be deployed, the UN SAT will conduct a pre-deployment briefing and provide the PCCs with a mission-information package and mission-specific training materials. It is expected that this will enhance the pre-deployment preparedness of the contingent and will facilitate later induction in the mission. 9. Composition: The UN SAT visiting a PCC will be made up of a representative from the Civilian Police Division (CPD)/Department of Peacekeeping Operations (DPKO), United Nations Headquarters in New York, and an adequate number of UN Police Trainers from the Induction Training Sections serving in the missions. The team leader may be a representative from the Civilian Police Division or an experienced police officer from the Induction Training Section appointed by the Civilian Police Division. UN Police Trainers (other than officials falling within the scope of Article V of the Convention on the Privileges and Immunities of the United Nations, hereinafter referred to as “the Convention”) shall be regarded as "experts on mission” for the United Nations falling within the meaning of Article VI of the Convention. Privileges and immunities are granted in the interests of the United Nations and are not for the personal benefit of the individuals themselves. The Secretary-General has the right and the duty to waive the immunity of any individual in cases where, in his opinion, the immunity would impede the course of justice and can be waived without prejudice to the interests of the United Nations. These civilian police officers are subject to the jurisdiction of the host country/territory in respect of any criminal offence that may be committed by them in the host country as well as any dispute/claim of a civil nature not related to the performance of their official functions. 10. Within the interpretation of Article IV of the Convention, the UN SAT members as “experts (other than officials falling within the scope of Article V) performing missions” for the United Nations shall, in particular, be accorded: (a) Immunity from personal arrest or detention and from seizure of their personal baggage; (b) In respect of words spoken or written and acts committed by them in the course of the performance of their mission, immunity from legal process of every kind; This immunity from legal process shall continue to be accorded notwithstanding that the persons concerned are no longer employed on missions for the United Nations; (c) Inviolability of all the papers and documents; (d) For the purpose of their communications with the United Nations, the right to use codes and to receive papers or correspondences by courier or in sealed bags; (e) The same facilities in respect of currency or exchange restrictions as are accorded to representatives of foreign governments on temporary official missions; (f) The same immunities and facilities in respect of their personal baggage as are accorded to diplomatic envoys. The UN SAT members shall have the right of unimpeded entry into, exit from, and movement within the host country. They shall be granted facilities for speedy travel. All necessary visas, entry/exit permits or licenses, where required, shall be granted free of charge and as expeditiously as possible. The host country shall be responsible for dealing with any action, claim or other demand and against the United Nations and UN SAT members arising out of: (i) Injury to persons or damage to or loss of property during the performance of their pre-deployment assessment duties by UN SAT members; (ii) The transportation provided by the host country; (iii) The employment of personnel provided by the host country to help UN SAT members in the performance of their duties and/or the participation of personnel in the pre-deployment process. The host country shall indemnify and hold harmless the United Nations and the UN SAT members in respect of any such action, claim or other demand, unless the damage or loss is attributable to gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of UN SAT members. 11. Modalities for UN SAT Deployment: To maximize the UN SAT capabilities to provide services to the greatest number of PCCs and to respond adequately in a timely fashion to various needs, the Teams will be deployed according to the following three (3) modalities: a) Planned Rotations of Personnel: An annual comprehensive plan for the deployment of UN SATs will be developed by the CPD/DPKO. The participating PCCs will be notified in advance of the proposed dates of the visit of the Team. An agreement for the planned annual UN SAT visit will be sought in advance. It will be the responsibility of the PCCs to ensure the availability of the candidates at the time of the Team’s visit. This plan will take into account the following considerations: (i) PCCs participating in the programme; (ii) dates and number of the rotations that the PCCs will have during the upcoming one-year calendar; and, (iii) UN police operations to which the PCCs are contributing. Under this modality, a Team will be visiting several PCCs prior to their rotations, to facilitate administrative preparations for the deployment. b) Deployment Capability: Special UN SATs may be deployed if requested by a PCC in the following circumstances: (i) PCCs, participating in the program that are increasing their contribution to UN police operations and/or establishing a deployment capability; and, (ii) PCCs that are participating for the first time in UN police operations. c) Specific Request: Any other specific circumstances may be considered on an individual basis, taking into consideration the aim of the UN SAT and availability of UN resources. Nevertheless, PCCs that are currently participating in the UN SAT programmes are strongly encouraged to combine a planned UN SAT with any expected rotation, increases in contribution or other possibilities listed above. A minimum of 75 days notice is normally required to arrange a visit by the SAT team. 12. Responsibilities of CPD: CPD/DPKO and the PCC will coordinate the modalities for the deployment of the Teams and the implementation of the programme. 13. The PCC will be informed about the particulars of the Team Members, the dates of the deployment and travel itineraries through its Permanent Missions to the United Nations. 14. Responsibilities of UN SAT Members: The responsibilities of the UN SAT members are: to administer the assessment of the pre-selected candidates to serve in a UN Police operations; to assists and encourage the PCC in the development of pre-deployment-selection and training initiatives; and, to conduct a pre-deployment generic and mission-specific briefing. 15. The UN SAT assists the PCC in the identification of candidates who meet the minimum requirements for services in UN police operations. The final results of the assessments will be provided to the designated officials of the PCC. 16. The Terms of Reference for the UN SAT members are defined in Annex 1. 17. Responsibilities of the PCC: Member States receiving and/or requesting the deployment of a UN SAT will be responsible for ensuring that the following steps are completed prior to the deployment of the Team and during the implementation of the pre-deployment assessment: A. Prior to the UN SAT Deployment: i. The PCC shall conduct a pre-selection process of personnel taking into consideration the minimum requirements established by DPKO for each UN police operation. PCCs are also requested to ensure that no personnel with a history of misconduct are provided to the United Nations. This will prevent the participation of unsuitable candidates and will reduce the duration and cost of the UN SAT deployment. The PCC shall ensure that a realistic number of candidates are presented, considering its current contribution to the UN police operations. ii. The PCC shall forward to CPD/DPKO a detailed list of names outlining the specified personal data: (i) numbers of candidates being assessed; (ii) name, date of Birth, rank and national police ID number of each candidate; and (iii) UN police operations to which national personnel will be deployed (Annex 8). iii. The PCC shall appoint a dedicated Liaison Officer in the host country to assist the Team with logistical and administrative-related issues. The name of the Liaison Officer shall be submitted to CPD/DPKO before the deployment of the Team, together with clear indications on how to reach him/her upon arrival in the host country. Under no circumstances should the designated Liaison Officer be appointed from the group of candidates that will undergo the assessments. iv. The PCC shall reserve adequate accommodations for the Team (costs incurred to be borne by the members of the Team or the UN). B. During the visit of the UN SAT: i. The PCC shall ensure that the previously screened and determined number of candidates is presented to the Team on a timely basis, to allow for the assessments to be conducted and so that the resources/equipment outlined in each of the mandatory pre-deployment exercise guidelines, below in Section II, are made available. ii. In connection with the UN SAT’s advisory function, the PCC is encouraged to arrange any meeting that could be considered of interest, to enhance the participating capacity in UN police operations, and notify the CPD/DPKO in advance of the Team’s arrival of the desired meetings, including a proposed agenda and probable list of attendances. iii. To facilitate the preparations of the PCC for receiving the visit of the UN SAT, a suggested tentative schedule of activities is attached as Annex 3. iv. The PCC shall make available to the UN SAT, office space with necessary facilities, including telephones, facsimile machine and computers with printers. v. The PCC shall make accessible official communication equipment for long-distance contact between UN SAT members, the UN Headquarters in New York and the receiving UN police operation. vi. The PCC shall ensure medical facilities adequate for emergency first aid and, if necessary, immediate transportation to available hospital. SECTION II Pre-Deployment Assessment Procedures 18. Description: The pre-deployment assessment procedure comprises of a set of exercises aimed at identifying the capacity and ability of the candidate to qualify for service in UN police operations, based upon UN minimum requirements. The exercises cover three main areas: language, driving, handling of weapons and shooting. 19. The exercises are administered on a sequential basis, starting with the language assessment, followed by the driving assessment and ending with the handling of weapons and shooting assessment. 20. Candidates have to meet the minimum requirements established for each exercise before being allowed to continue to the next exercise. 21. Validity of the results of the UN SAT · The term of validity of the UN SAT assessments would be effective for 18 months from the date of completion of the assessment. · In cases where a candidate passes the language evaluation but fails to pass either the driving or shooting assessments; he/she shall be eligible to request the next SAT for an evaluation only in the assessments that he/she failed during the previous SAT. This shall be allowed provided that the next SAT assessment is conducted within 12 months from the date of passing the language evaluation. · In such cases, the validity of the UN SAT assessment remains 18 months from the date of passing the initial language evaluation. In other words, for the above provision to be valid, the said candidate must be deployed to the Mission area within 18 months of his passing the initial language assessment. · If a candidate prefers to extend the validity of his/her assessment, he/she would be allowed to appear for the language evaluation a second time only. · Candidates who fail the language evaluation will not be permitted to take further qualifying assessments in driving and shooting as their inability to effectively communicate could create a safety hazard. Candidates who have successfully completed all the UN SAT assessments or the assessments administered by the Induction Training Sections in a mission and who have served in a mission for a minimum of six months shall not be subject to further assessment by UN SAT, unless the time between subsequent tours of duty exceeds 18 months, from the date of departure to the date of induction. Upon arrival at the mission, those candidates in compliance with these criteria may undergo any section of the induction assessments that they may not have taken prior to their previous tour of duty which is applicable to the conditions of service in their new assignment. 22. Re-assessment: The pre-deployment assessments administered by the UN SAT will be conducted only once, with the exception of the Listening Comprehension and the Report Writing sections of the language assessments. Candidates scoring between 50 – 59 points out of one hundred will be granted a second opportunity to be assessed prior to the subsequent phases of the pre-deployment assessments. 23. Inappropriate Conduct: The UN SAT reserves the right to exclude any candidate who fails to observe appropriate conduct during the assessment process of the UN SAT. Such actions will be duly noted and communicated in writing to the authorities of the host country and CPD/DPKO immediately after the end of SAT visit. 24. Language assessment: The objective of the Language Competency Assessment is to ensure that a police officer meets the language proficiency required for the mission. The exercises are designed to assess an officer’s ability to understand the written and spoken language and to communicate comfortably, both orally and in writing. 25. The language exercise consists of four sections and is administered in the following order: Reading Comprehension, Listening Comprehension, Report Writing and Oral Interview. The required assessment material may be prepared by individual missions but would be reviewed and approved by CPD/DPKO. 26. Reading comprehension: The candidate is presented with a brief incident report to read. Having reviewed the report, the candidate is required to answer ten (10) questions concerning facts culled from the report. The candidate will be given fifteen (15) minutes to read and to answer the questions. Each fully correct response is worth ten (10) points out of one hundred 100. To pass this assessment the candidate needs to score at least 60%. 27. Listening comprehension: The candidate is requested to listen to a cassette tape containing a mission-related interview. The tape is divided into two (2) sections. The first section consists of a narrator providing an overview of what the officer will hear during the interview. The second section of the tape is the actual interview. This method permits the candidate two opportunities to hear the facts of the interview. 28. The tape will be played only once. Candidates are encouraged to take notes. Notes can be taken in any language. Each part of the tape contains sufficient information to answer all the questions. 29. At the conclusion of the taped interview, the candidates are re
