The UN’s Young professional programme (YPP) is open for applications now! Here is what the UN says:
The United Nations is looking for highly qualified candidates who are ready to launch a professional career as an international civil servant. The young professionals programme (YPP) is a recruitment initiative that brings new talent to the United Nations through an annual entrance examination. For young, high-calibre professionals across the globe, the examination is a platform for launching a career at the United Nations. This programme builds upon the national competitive recruitment examination (NCRE) which was held for the last time in 2010.
So for all of you who are asking for entry level jobs, this is the UN programme that is geared towards your needs. Please note though that this is a very competitive programme so prepare yourself well when applying to it!

I’m not sure what your question is: But please note that the UN NEVER(!) charges application fees. Anyone charging application fees is a scammer. For more details see here: http://www.rottmair.de/2009/05/17/dont-fall-for-un-vacancy-scams/
Well, Thanks for the opportunity, Alas my country is not listed (Iran) Although I consider myself as a cosmopolitan. Good Luck

What are the application prerequisites, (qualifications, etc)?
Have a look at their page directly. There are age, skill, experience and some other requirements. Also check http://unjl.org/learn to get a sense for how the system works.
