Interesting job, although I have no clue what it pays? But from the job details, this is an armed position and English is the primary language they are looking for.
I am not the POC or recruiter for this job and follow the highlighted links below if you want to apply. You can also visit the UN Careers website from time to time to see if any other security jobs pop up. Good luck. –Matt
