THE OFFICE OF STAFF LEGAL ASSISTANCE (OSLA)

The Office of Staff Legal Assistance (OSLA) was established in 2009 to provide legal advice and representation to United Nations staff members (and former staff and the representatives of deceased or incapacitated staff members) who wish to appeal an adverse administrative decision, or who are subject to disciplinary action.

OSLA is independent and the advice it offers is confidential. OSLA does not charge a fee for its services.

If you are a United Nations staff member or former staff member, or the representative of a deceased staff member, OSLA may be able to assist you. See the complete list of UN entities whose staff have recourse to OSLA. To request help, contact OSLA.
