The Investigation Service, working under the authority of the Inspector General, has responsibility for carrying out investigations into possible misconduct within UNHCR in a timely and appropriate manner and that findings are transmitted to the Inspector General.
The Senior Investigation Specialist reports to the Head of the IGO Unit and works independently or as part of a team on investigation cases assigned to him or her by the Head of Unit.
