STO Recruitment: Tajikistan 2010: UPDATE - Closed

The OSCE has received an official invitation to observe the parliamentary elections in the Republic of Tajikistan scheduled for 28th February 2010 and has elected to deploy a full election observation mission. BEWC has in turn been selected to provide the UK's contingent of observers for this mission.

IBEWC has recruited 2 LTOs and 7 STOs for the purposes of this mission. STOs will depart for Dushanbe on approximately the 23rd February 2010 and will return on approximately the 2nd March 2010. Please do not send further applications as these will not be considered or acknowledged.

 

 

Conflicts of Interest

Election monitors must not only be, but also be seen to be, entirely objective. In particular they must have no potential conflicts of interest in relation to their work for BEWC in the country concerned. This issue is, understandably, subject to ever-increasing scrutiny by stakeholders.

We require ALL candidate monitors to let us know in writing at the time of each application of anything which might be considered, or be presented by others, as a conflict of interest.

We can then make enquiries and give a response on whether a candidate can be considered for a mission. Failure to inform us of possible conflicts may result (if discovered pre-departure) in cancellation of individual assignments or (if emerging later) compromise the mission as a whole. This not only reduces the effectiveness and credibility of monitoring but will also require us to seek cost recovery for flights, visas etc from the party not declaring the information.

Please therefore take this issue into account and, if in doubt, declare any possible conflict that might need to be cleared (for example, business, investment, political, representational, or professional interests and activities with the country concerned or elsewhere if relevant).

Many thanks for your understanding and co-operation in this matter.
