Combining the skills of translation, drafting, summarizing and fact-checking, précis-writers produce an account of a meeting that can be understood equally well by a reader who was present at the meeting and a reader who was not, maintaining high standards of accuracy and writing style. They use their judgment and their knowledge of the subject matter to determine what should be condensed, expanded, omitted or explained. (...) Skills required
In addition to excellent language skills in at least three official languages, and excellent writing style in their main language, translators/précis-writers are expected to have knowledge of a broad range of subjects dealt with by the United Nations, that is to say, in the political, social, economic, disarmament, counter-terrorism, legal, humanitarian, peacekeeping, financial and administrative, scientific and technical fields.
(...) Main Committees of the General Assembly (summary records produced for all meetings except meetings of the First Committee, which are covered by verbatim records)
Economic and Social Council
Human rights treaty bodies
Security Council committees
International Law Commission

United Nations Forum on Forests » UNFF » Trees ‘speak out’ in UN writing competition to save forests
Welcome to the United Nations. (...) Charlée Gittens from Barbados, writing as a great oak in Guyana’s Windsor Forest, and 13-year-old Wang Sa from China, in the voice of an observant small tree ‘prepared to care for humanity,’ were declared victors in the 40th UN Universal Postal Union ( UPU ) competition, which this year marked the International Year of Forests by asking young people to imagine themselves as a tree writing a letter to someone to explain why it is important to protect forests.
(...) Next year’s theme , marking the London 2012 Olympics, asks youngsters to “write a letter to an athlete or sports figure you admire to explain what the Olympic Games mean to you.”
