World Trade Organization Legal Affairs Internship
The WTO Internship Program provides an opportunity for post-graduate students from
WTO member and observer countries to gain valuable experience from working at the
WTO. Assignments given to interns are intended to enhance the individual's understanding
of the WTO and of trade policy more generally. However, internships include opportunities
in other specialist areas, such as finance, human resources, language services,
IT and communications. The division to which the intern is assigned determines
the precise nature of the work to be undertaken. Many interns work in the following
areas: trade law, economics, statistics, trade policy, languages, administration,
information, and communication relations, and information management.
Internships in the Legal Affairs Division are for a duration of 24 weeks. We have
two intakes per year – in January and in July. Candidates wishing to apply for
the July 2019 intake should send their full applications by the end of February.
Those wishing to apply for the January 2020 intake should send their applications
by the end of August 2019.
A candidate must: be a national of a WTO member state or country or customs territory
engaged in accession negotiations; not be a government official, unless the candidate
resigns from his/her post; not be a law firm associate, unless the candidate resigns
from his/her post; have done no prior internship with the WTO; not be related to
anyone currently working at the WTO; be at the beginning of their professional
careers in the field of WTO law and therefore, in principle, not more than 30 years
of age at the time of starting the internship; normally hold a degree leading to
admission to practice law (normally LL.B or a JD); have at least one year of post-graduate
studies; and have specific knowledge and/or experience in WTO Law.
