Interviewed Dec 2011 (took 4+ weeks)
Interview was for one hour exact. It consisted on general set of questions that are included in the employment package of the organisation and everybody (who is already within the system) can access it and prepare in advance. The panel followed these questions very strictly. they may ask some questions of clarification.
Other Details
I got the interview through an Employee Referral and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview and a Group/Panel Interview.

Interviewed Nov 2009 in Toronto, ON (Canada) (took 1 week)
First stage of the interview was a phone call. Pretty much typical questions. Second step was 1:1 Interview, again pretty standard stuff ( teamwork, how you handle stress and pressure although the environment is far from stressfull, position related questions etc.). One of the managers interviewing me was rather uncomfortable, Im guessing candidate screening wasnt her strong suit.

Interviewed May 2008 in New York, NY (took 3 months)
Getting a permanent job with any UN agency is very time consuming since they receive so many applications and the process has to be very well documented and transparent from the organisation's perspective. Typically, there is a phone interview for shortlisted candidates. This typically takes 1 hour. Then if selected a face to face interview with a panel and / or individuals is requested. During this phase some written tests may be given.
Negotiation Details
UN salaries are all pre-graded according to the post so there is not much to negotiate, except the step within the grade which is set by numbers of years of experience. The entitlements and benefits are all standard too so cannot be negotiated.
