L'UNAT a examin¨¦ un appel interjet¨¦ par le fonctionnaire.

L'UNAT a constat¨¦ que le rapport de recommandation ne fournissait aucune explication permettant de comprendre la justification de la d¨¦cision de non-s¨¦lection. L'UNAT a not¨¦ qu'aucune information n'avait ¨¦t¨¦ fournie au cours de la proc¨¦dure judiciaire quant aux raisons pour lesquelles le candidat externe ¨¦tait le candidat le plus appropri¨¦. L'UNAT a estim¨¦ que, dans un souci de raisonnabilit¨¦, d'¨¦quit¨¦ et de transparence, l'Administration ¨¦tait cens¨¦e fournir des raisons pertinentes et v¨¦ritables ¨¤ l'appui de son choix final. L'UNAT a...

The UNAT considered an appeal by the staff member.

The UNAT found that the recommendation report did not provide any explanation to understand the rationale of the non-selection decision. The UNAT noted that no information had been given in the course of the judicial proceedings either as to why the external candidate was the most suitable candidate. The UNAT held that, for the sake of reasonableness, fairness and transparency, it was expected from the Administration to give relevant and true reasons supporting its ultimate choice. The UNAT found that the UNDT had made an error of fact...

L'UNAT a estim¨¦ que l'absence de discussion sur la gestion de l'affaire et d'audience devant le TCNU ne constituait pas une erreur de proc¨¦dure.

Le TANU a estim¨¦ que le Tribunal n'avait pas commis d'erreur en admettant et en examinant le m¨¦morandum d'all¨¦gations de mauvaise conduite, car celui-ci avait ¨¦t¨¦ utilis¨¦ par l'Administration uniquement pour v¨¦rifier que les circonstances justifiant le placement du requ¨¦rant en ALWP existaient.

L'UNAT a ¨¦galement constat¨¦ que le rapport d'enqu¨ºte du BSCI ne faisait pas r¨¦f¨¦rence aux communications entre l'appelant et son conseil, ni aux ¨¦changes au...

The UNAT held that the absence of a case management discussion and an oral hearing before the UNDT was not a procedural error.

The UNAT found that the UNDT did not err in admitting and considering the memorandum of allegations of misconduct, as it was used by the Administration only to verify that circumstances warranting the placement of the Appellant on ALWP occurred. The UNAT also found that the OIOS Investigation Report did not refer to the communications between the Appellant and his counsel, nor to exchanges during a mediation process, but only considered the Appellant¡¯s objective...

Le Secr¨¦taire g¨¦n¨¦ral a interjet¨¦ appel.

Le Tribunal d'appel a estim¨¦ que le TDNU avait outrepass¨¦ sa comp¨¦tence et commis une erreur de droit en interpr¨¦tant l'article 6(3)(a) du R¨¨glement du personnel comme autorisant Mme Barbulescu, en tant que m¨¨re commanditaire dans le cadre d'une maternit¨¦ de substitution, ¨¤ avoir droit ¨¤ un cong¨¦ de maternit¨¦, contrairement aux dispositions claires et sans ambigu?t¨¦. Statut et R¨¨glement du personnel. Le Tribunal a ¨¦largi la port¨¦e de l'article 6(3) du R¨¨glement du personnel au point de prendre une d¨¦cision politique qui rel¨¨ve de la comp¨¦tence du...

The Secretary-General filed an appeal.

The Appeals Tribunal found that the UNDT exceeded its jurisdiction and erred in law when it interpreted Staff Rule 6(3)(a) as allowing Ms. Barbulescu as a commissioning mother in a surrogacy to be entitled to maternity leave contrary to the clear and unambiguous Staff Regulations and Rules. The UNDT enlarged the scope of Staff Rule 6(3) to an extent that it made a policy decision which is in the purview of the Secretary-General. Further, the Dispute Tribunal erred in making factual findings without evidence.

The Appeals Tribunal however held that the...

L'UNAT a estim¨¦ que le voyage de la requ¨¦rante n'¨¦tait pas autoris¨¦ en vertu de l'article 7.10 du R¨¨glement du personnel car elle n'avait b¨¦n¨¦fici¨¦ que d'un seul jour de cong¨¦ annuel approuv¨¦ le 24 juin 2021, suivi d'une p¨¦riode de repos et de repos du 12 juillet au 16 juillet 2021. L'UNAT a ¨¦galement conclu que le L'administration a pris les mesures appropri¨¦es en lui envoyant le 25 juillet 2021 un e-mail lui rappelant que tous les membres du personnel international devaient soumettre leur demande de renouvellement de visa soudanais dans les d¨¦lais.

L¡¯UNAT a estim¨¦ que les ¨¦v¨¦nements qui ont...

The UNAT held that the Appellant¡¯s travel was not authorized pursuant to Staff Rule 7.10 because she had just one approved day of annual leave on 24 June 2021 followed by a period of R&R from the 12 July to 16 July 2021. The UNAT also found that the Administration took the appropriate action by sending her on 25 July 2021 an e-mail reminding her that all the international staff members had to submit their Sudanese visa renewal application in a timely manner. The UNAT held that the events that delayed the Appellant¡¯s return to her duty station could not be construed as force majeure as they...

L¡¯UNAT a estim¨¦ qu¡¯il y avait une nette disjonction dans la d¨¦cision du Tribunal du contentieux des Nations Unies de faire droit ¨¤ la demande de M. Nair uniquement en ce qui concerne les mesures disciplinaires (mais pas les mesures administratives), et en m¨ºme temps d¡¯annuler la d¨¦cision disciplinaire elle-m¨ºme. Le TANU a not¨¦ la confusion suscit¨¦e par la conclusion du Tribunal du Tribunal selon laquelle ? aucune faute n'a eu lieu ?, tout en admettant que M. Nair avait ? r¨¦agi et utilis¨¦ un langage hostile ¨¤ plusieurs reprises ? ce qui justifiait, de l'avis du Tribunal, l'imposition de mesures...

The UNAT held that there was a clear disjunct in the UNDT¡¯s decision to grant Mr. Nair¡¯s application only in relation to the disciplinary measures (but not the administrative measures), and at the same time, rescinding the actual disciplinary decision. The UNAT noted the confusion presented by UNDT¡¯s finding that ¡°no misconduct occurred at all¡±, while at the same time accepting that Mr. Nair had ¡°repeatedly reacted and used hostile language¡± which justified, in the UNDT¡¯s view, the imposition of administrative measures. The UNAT held that the administrative measures under Staff Rule 10.2(b)...

L'UNAT a estim¨¦ que le Tribunal n'avait pas commis d'erreur de proc¨¦dure dans sa gestion de l'affaire qui aurait affect¨¦ l'issue de l'affaire. L'appelant a eu une occasion significative de pr¨¦senter sa d¨¦fense et de remettre en question la v¨¦racit¨¦ des d¨¦clarations port¨¦es contre lui. Les t¨¦moins suppl¨¦mentaires qu¡¯il souhaitait faire compara?tre n¡¯auraient gu¨¨re ¨¦t¨¦ d¡¯une grande utilit¨¦ pour sa cause.

L'UNAT a estim¨¦ que le Tribunal avait conclu ¨¤ juste titre que le comportement all¨¦gu¨¦ ¨¦tait ¨¦tabli par des preuves claires et convaincantes et que les actes de l'appelant, ¨¤ savoir le fait de...

The UNAT held that the UNDT did not commit an error of procedure in its case management that affected the outcome of the case. The Appellant had a meaningful opportunity to mount a defense and to question the veracity of the statements against him. The additional witnesses that he wished to call would have been of little assistance to his case.

The UNAT found that the UNDT correctly concluded that the alleged conduct was established by clear and convincing evidence and that the Appellant¡¯s actions, i.e., making inappropriate comments of a sexual nature in social settings, amounted to sexual...

L¡¯UNAT a rejet¨¦ la demande d¡¯audience de l¡¯appelant, estimant que les questions ¨¦taient bien d¨¦finies et ne n¨¦cessitaient pas de d¨¦veloppement suppl¨¦mentaire au cours d¡¯une audience.

L'UNAT a estim¨¦ que la demande du requ¨¦rant visant ¨¤ r¨¦examiner la r¨¦ponse ¨¤ sa demande de contr?le hi¨¦rarchique concernant sa non-s¨¦lection n'¨¦tait pas recevable ratione materiae car elle n'avait pas produit de cons¨¦quences juridiques directes pour lui et ne constituait donc pas une d¨¦cision administrative susceptible de recours.

L'UNAT a ¨¦galement constat¨¦ que le requ¨¦rant avait ¨¦t¨¦ inform¨¦ du r¨¦sultat de sa...

L'UNAT a examin¨¦ un appel interjet¨¦ par le fonctionnaire.

L'UNAT a constat¨¦ que le fonctionnaire n'avait cit¨¦ aucune disposition de l'article 2(1) du Statut de l'UNAT et n'avait pas indiqu¨¦ si des erreurs commises par le DT de l'UNRWA dans son affaire concernaient sa comp¨¦tence, la proc¨¦dure, une question de droit ou une question de fait. L'UNAT a estim¨¦ que le recours ¨¦tait vici¨¦ et, par cons¨¦quent, irrecevable.

L'UNAT a n¨¦anmoins r¨¦it¨¦r¨¦ sa jurisprudence sur certaines des questions soulev¨¦es et a approuv¨¦ la mani¨¨re dont le DT de l'UNRWA avait d¨¦termin¨¦ le montant de l'indemnisation en...

The UNAT considered an appeal by the staff member.

The UNAT found that the staff member did not cite any provision of Article 2(1) of the UNAT Statute and did not indicate whether any errors by the UNRWA DT in his case related to its jurisdiction, the procedure, a question of law or a question of fact. The UNAT held that the appeal was defective and consequently not receivable.

The UNAT, nevertheless, reiterated its jurisprudence on some of the issues raised, and agreed with the way the UNRWA DT had determined the amount of in-lieu compensation. The UNAT also agreed with the UNRWA DT¡¯s...

The UNAT denied the Appellant¡¯s request for an oral hearing, finding that that the issues were well-defined and required no further development through an oral hearing.

The UNAT held that the Appellant¡¯s application for review of the response to his request for management evaluation of his non-selection was not receivable ratione materiae as it did not produce direct legal consequences for him and was, therefore, not a reviewable administrative decision.

The UNAT also found that the Appellant was informed of the outcome of his request for a management evaluation regarding his non-selection...

The UNAT held that the UNDT was correct to find that there was clearly sufficient evidence to support the Administration¡¯s conclusion that the staff member¡¯s performance only partially met expectations, and that this concern was communicated to him. Although the Rebuttal Board¡¯s confirmation of the rating, and the preparation of a second short-term performance appraisal occurred after the non-renewal was taken, the UNAT concluded that these reviews nonetheless confirmed that management¡¯s prior informal evaluation of the staff member¡¯s performance was not arbitrary but was instead well-based...
