1. INTERNSHIP. ASIAN DEVELOPMENT BANK. DEADLINE: NOVEMBER 14, 2012

Internship Topic: Understanding Trade Data and Trade Flows in Central and West Asia.

Summary of Job Description

The detailed tasks of this proposal are indicative and to be refined upon reviewing the intern candidates’ profiles and potential skills.

The intern will strengthen CWRD’s understanding of external trade data and trade flows in the region. The results produced, in particular the “Trade Data Briefs” for CWRD countries, will help CWRD to better understand trade statistics, monitor trade flows in the region and progress in trade expansion, including that among the CAREC countries. This will contribute to the identification, design and implementation of investments to promote trade expansion.

Background: Expanded trade and improved competitiveness are important ingredients of countries’ economic growth. They also constitute two strategic objectives of the CAREC program. Monitoring their achievement is essential not only to demonstrate development effectiveness, but also to identify and design the most effective interventions to promote trade. Monitoring of trade flows could also alert CWRD of any shortcomings in implementation of planned investments or reforms, in order to respond.

Effective performance of these tasks requires a good understanding of the state and quality of trade data in the countries. Understanding of the trade flows in the CWRD region is challenging, because their trade statistics display certain weaknesses and inconsistencies. For some countries, and for some commodities, data are unavailable from international sources, and the data that are available, often differ from government data. Data often differ from “mirror” statistical data, eg., the ones reported by exporting or importing partners. In some of the countries, large volumes of trade are informal, and therefore unreported, or are systematically under-reported, for various reasons. In addition, trade flows are generally reported in nominal, not real terms, making it difficult to understand effective trade flows and patterns over time, or compare between countries. All of these factors complicate data interpretation, which in turn makes it hard to monitor effective trade flows.

In this context, the detailed tasks to be carried out by the intern are:

2. Review and summarize the relevant literature and international good practice in collecting and reporting trade statistics, and common shortcomings in the CWRD countries.

3. Collect and consolidate trade data from government sources (some data may be collected prior to the start of the assignment, with the assistance of the resident missions, specifically the country economists, as needed) and international sources (UN COMTRADE, IMF Directory of Trade Statistics).

4. Compare government and international sources and examine the two datasets in terms of coverage, classification, levels of reporting, etc.; examine “mirror” data by comparing the exports reported by one country with the imports reported by another.

5. Design a questionnaire to understand the way in which trade data are collected and reported, and the reasons for any inconsistencies identified above.

6. Fill in the questionnaire, through reference to appropriate literature and websites, and with assistance from country economists, who will seek data or information as needed from relevant government authorities.

7. Based on tasks 1-5, develop a “Trade Data Brief” template to be used as guidance by users of national trade data within CWRD. The trade brief should explain the methodology and process of data collection and reporting, detailing any major inconsistencies with international and “mirror” data, and explaining them, as far as possible.

8. . Compile “Trade Data Brief” for each of the ten CWRD countries in accordance with the developed template.

9. Review and summarize the relevant literature and international good practice in computing trade flows in real terms.

10. Develop guidelines to compute real trade flows for CWRD countries.

11. Apply these guidelines to compute real trade flows for one or more “pilot” countries.

The intern will work closely with economists in CWRC and will consult with the CAREC unit. Consultations with OREI, ERD, and ADBI staff will be held through the internship supervisors, whenever appropriate. The resident missions, especially the country national economic officers, will also work with the intern, helping to develop questionnaires and collect the necessary data. The CAREC consultants may also support the intern by requesting data and following up with relevant authorities, as required.

Expected Outcomes

1. Final report, including:

o Summary of international good practice in trade statistics, and common shortcomings in the CWRD countries.

o Findings of comparisons between government and international data, and of mirror-data analysis.

o Lessons learned for ADB use of trade statistics in CWRD countries.

o Methodology to compute real trade flows for CWRD countries, and application of this methodology to one or more “pilot” countries.

o Trade Data Brief” for each of the ten CWRD countries (see below).

3. One “Trade Data Brief” for the each of ten CWRD countries, containing the description of trade statistics for that country, explaining the methodology and process of data collection and reporting, detailing any major inconsistencies with mirror or international data, and explaining them, as far as possible. The trade briefs will be attached to the final report as an appendix.

4. Presentation to CWRD and other interested staff.

5. Database of trade data from government and international sources in an agreed format.

The final report will be developed into a knowledge product, such as a CWRD working paper, with support from the intern’s supervisors. This report will be circulated as appropriate within CWRD and to relevant government counterparts, to ensure that the knowledge developed and lessons learned are shared. The Trade Data Briefs will be made available to CWRD economists working on trade issues and, if appropriate, uploaded to CWRD’s internal website.

2. INTERNSHIP, INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL LAW AND HUMAN RIGHTS (ICLHR) INITIATIVE. DEADLINE: NOVEMBER 15, 2012

The ICLHR Initiative is currently looking for contributors to the Legal Tools Database (LTD) of the International Criminal Court (ICC)

Deadline for applications - 15 November 2012

Legal Tools Database is developed by the ICC's several outsourcing partners from different regions of the world, including the ICLHR Initiative. The LTD is free available in the internet via the website www.legal-tools.org It is constantly updated, and currently comprises over 50,000 legal documents related to human rights law and international criminal and humanitarian law. These are, in particular, documents produced by international tribunals, relevant national legislation and cases, media and NGOs’ reports, or the preparatory works to the Rome Statute of the ICC. The LTD can be searched via a search engine, or through a folders tree viewer. The LTD together with other Tools of the ICC are the leading information services on international criminal law. The repository serves judges, prosecutors, lawyers, non-governmental organizations, members of academia and all other interested parties in dealing with prosecution, adjudication, documentation, research and education related to core international crimes.

ICLHR’s role: Under an agreement with the ICC, the ICLHR Initiative is responsible for the development of a significant part of the Legal Tools Database (see www.legal-tools.org/work-on-the-tools/table-of-responsibilities/ where we feature as ‘CEEI’). We are tasked with registration of primarily national documents from or related to the following countries: Afghanistan, Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bahamas, Bangladesh, Barbados, Belarus, Belize, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Burundi, Cambodia, China, Croatia, Czech Republic, Dominica, Estonia, Ethiopia, Georgia, Guyana, Haiti, Hungary, Indonesia, Jamaica, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, Poland, Romania, Russia, Rwanda, Senegal, Serbia, Sierra Leone, Slovakia, Slovenia, Solomon Islands, Somalia, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Suriname, Tajikistan, Trinidad and Tobago, Turkmenistan, Uganda, Ukraine, Uzbekistan and Vietnam. We also feed the database with documents originating from international(ized) jurisdictions, such as ad hoc war crimes tribunals, and human rights decisions of international bodies, and with some other materials, too.

Via this announcement, the ICLHR Initiative encourages you to join a team of contributors to the Legal Tools Database.

You would be responsible for:

· finding new sources of relevant documents in English and other languages;

· registering the documents from the newly-discovered sources and those submitted to you by the ICLHR co-ordinator by inputting information describing the documents (meta-data) into the Database.

Successful candidates will:

· personally and concretely support a renowned, hands-on, capacity-building project in international criminal justice;

· increase their knowledge about human rights law and international criminal law, and likely find good resources for a research in the fields of law, international relations or history;

· join a global team of other young aspiring experts;

· receive training regarding the database;

· work via internet, hence anywhere in the world without requiring to be available during strict working hours;

· improve their legal English reading and understanding skills;

· acquire the experience of interning in an international NGO.

Requirements? This internship is for you if you:

· have an interest in international law, particularly international criminal and humanitarian law;

· possess at least good passive knowledge of English (reading);

· have good computer skills and access to the Internet;

· are ready to communicate with the Initiative on an on-distance basis (via the Internet);

· are diligent and self-disciplined;

· can committ at least a few hours a week.

An additional asset is:

· to be familiar with sources of LTD-relevant documents originating from or related to a country featuring on the above-mentioned list, and/or to speak a language in which national sources may be created in;

· to have good research skills (as the interns may be expected to find new sources of relevant information).

This voluntary internship is for the duration of 3 to 6 months, as individually arranged with the successful candidates. The interns will receive a letter of recommendation and a certificate upon successful completion of the internship. The best performing contributors may be offered to take the position of a reviewer of registration of documents by others, and increase their chances of further collaboration with the ICLHR Initative on other projects. The ICLHR Initiative is also developing a basic training scheme about the system of international humanitarian and criminal law for LTD contributors (visit our website soon for further news in this regard).
