L¡¯UNAT a estim¨¦ qu¡¯en l¡¯absence de disposition expresse dans le cadre juridique pr¨¦voyant que l¡¯engagement continu puisse ¨ºtre prolong¨¦ ou qu¡¯un agent puisse ¨ºtre r¨¦int¨¦gr¨¦ aux fins de l¡¯utilisation d¡¯un cong¨¦ de maladie, le droit de M. Iacovino au cong¨¦ de
maladie a pris fin ¨¤ la date indiqu¨¦e dans sa lettre de licenciement, ¨¤ savoir le 31 d¨¦cembre 2023. L¡¯UNAT a reconnu que,
conform¨¦ment ¨¤ la note ST/AI/2005/3, les membres du personnel sous contrat ¨¤ dur¨¦e d¨¦termin¨¦e peuvent se voir accorder une prolongation afin de faire valoir leur droit au cong¨¦ de maladie, mais qu¡¯il n¡¯existe aucune...

L¡¯UNAT a estim¨¦ que le TDN avait commis une erreur en concluant que le renvoi vers le BSCI constituait une d¨¦cision administrative susceptible de recours. Il a jug¨¦ que, contrairement ¨¤ ce qu¡¯avait conclu le TDN, le fait d¡¯¨ºtre soumis ¨¤ une enqu¨ºte ne transformait pas, en soi, le renvoi en vue d¡¯une enqu¨ºte en une d¨¦cision administrative, en l¡¯absence de cons¨¦quences juridiques
suppl¨¦mentaires. Elle a en outre conclu que, dans la mesure o¨´ la demande de cong¨¦ parental du fonctionnaire avait finalement ¨¦t¨¦ accept¨¦e et o¨´ celui-ci n¡¯avait pas fait ¨¦tat d¡¯un pr¨¦judice r¨¦sultant du retard dans l...

L¡¯UNAT a estim¨¦ que l¡¯UNDT n¡¯avait pas commis d¡¯erreur de droit dans son interpr¨¦tation de l¡¯article 10.1(b) du R¨¨glement du
personnel et avait ¨¤ juste titre jug¨¦ que la notion de ? perte financi¨¨re ? exigeait un pr¨¦judice p¨¦cuniaire d¨¦montrable et quantifiable pour l¡¯Organisation, directement caus¨¦ par une faute intentionnelle, imprudente ou gravement n¨¦gligente de la part du fonctionnaire, et non compens¨¦ par une contrepartie de valeur ¨¦quivalente ou sup¨¦rieure.

Le Tribunal administratif des Nations unies a rejet¨¦ l¡¯argument du Secr¨¦taire g¨¦n¨¦ral selon lequel toute utilisation non autoris¨¦e...

Le Tribunal d¡¯appel a estim¨¦ que le Tribunal administratif des Nations unies (UNTD) avait correctement conclu que la d¨¦cision de
recouvrer une partie de l¡¯indemnit¨¦ forfaitaire de cong¨¦ dans les foyers de M. Kulga ¨¦tait l¨¦gale.

En ce qui concerne les d¨¦pens mis ¨¤ la charge de M. Kulga, le Tribunal d¡¯appel a estim¨¦ que le TNDU avait commis une erreur en qualifiant la requ¨ºte de M. Kulga de frivole, car il n¡¯¨¦tait pas d¨¦raisonnable de la part de ce dernier de consid¨¦rer qu¡¯un nouveau
recours devant le TNDU pourrait lui ¨ºtre utile, d¡¯autant plus que son recours contre son ¨¦valuation de gestion...

The Appeals Tribunal held that the UNDT correctly found that the decision to recover a portion of Mr. Kulga¡¯s Home Leave lump sum was lawful.

As to the costs awarded against Mr. Kulga, the Appeals Tribunal found that the UNDT erred in finding Mr. Kulga¡¯s application to be frivolous as it was not unreasonable for Mr. Kulga to consider that a further challenge to the UNDT could assist him, especially after his management evaluation challenge had been partially successful. In addition, the UNDT¡¯s finding that Mr. Kulga repeatedly lied to the Administration over six months in seeking to obtain...

The UNAT held that the UNDT did not err in law in its interpretation of Staff Rule 10.1(b) and properly held that ¡°financial loss¡± requires a demonstrable and quantifiable monetary detriment to the Organization, directly caused by the staff member¡¯s wilful, reckless, or grossly negligent misconduct, and not offset by equivalent or greater value received.

The UNAT rejected the Secretary-General¡¯s argument that any unauthorized use of funds constitutes ¡°financial loss¡±, holding that this conflates misconduct with loss.Accordingly, it held that the failure to follow procurement procedures...

The UNAT held that the UNDT erred in finding that the referral to OIOS constituted a reviewable administrative decision.It found that, contrary to the UNDT¡¯s finding, being subject to an investigation did not, in itself, transform the referral for investigation into an administrative decision, in the absence of additional legal consequences.It further concluded that, as the staff member¡¯s request for parental leave was eventually granted, and he had not identified any harm resulting from the delay in granting it, the referral to OIOS did not have sufficient legal effect to constitute a...

Le 19 mai 2024, l¡¯agent est revenu ¨¤ son lieu d¡¯affectation apr¨¨s un cong¨¦ de repos et de r¨¦cup¨¦ration (R&R). La p¨¦riode de service ouvrant droit ¨¤ ce cong¨¦ ¨¦tait de 28 jours et il pouvait pr¨¦tendre ¨¤ un nouveau cong¨¦ R&R ¨¤ compter du 16 juin 2024. Il a quitt¨¦ son lieu d¡¯affectation le 13 juin 2024. Il a demand¨¦ un cong¨¦ de repos et de r¨¦cup¨¦ration pour la p¨¦riode du 23 au 27 juin 2024.

L¡¯UNAT a not¨¦ que le fonctionnaire avait quitt¨¦ son lieu d¡¯affectation en partant du principe que les jours suivants, du 14 au 22 juin 2024, qui comprenaient ¨¤ la fois des jours ch?m¨¦s, des jours f¨¦ri¨¦s...

L¡¯agent a d¨¦pos¨¦ une demande d¡¯indemnisation pour un accident du travail. La Commission consultative des demandes
d¡¯indemnisation a jug¨¦ sa demande prescrite. Elle a demand¨¦ ¨¤ la Commission consultative de r¨¦examiner sa demande et a joint un nouveau formulaire de demande, sur lequel figurait une nouvelle date d¡¯accident. Elle a ensuite d¨¦pos¨¦ de nombreuses demandes et requ¨ºtes en r¨¦examen des d¨¦cisions all¨¦gu¨¦es et des ? non-d¨¦cisions ? concernant le traitement de sa demande.

Le Tribunal administratif des Nations unies (UNAT) a not¨¦ qu¡¯il avait d¨¦j¨¤ rendu un arr¨ºt dans lequel il avait jug¨¦ que...

L¡¯UNAT a estim¨¦ que le DT de l¡¯UNRWA avait commis une erreur de droit et de fait, aboutissant ¨¤ une d¨¦cision manifestement
d¨¦raisonnable, en omettant de prendre d?ment en consid¨¦ration l¡¯article 66 de la directive de l¡¯UNRWA relative au personnel de
terrain n¡ã PD/A/4/Partie II/Rev. 7/Section I, qui vise ¨¤ garantir l¡¯¨¦quilibre entre les sexes, et lorsqu¡¯il a pris en compte, ¨¤ tort, la
recommandation concernant le troisi¨¨me candidat, ce qui l¡¯a conduit ¨¤ fixer ¨¤ tort les chances de s¨¦lection de Mme Al Dawoud ¨¤ 50 % au lieu de 100 %. L¡¯UNAT a estim¨¦ que la section 66 exprime une pr¨¦f¨¦rence pour...

On 19 May 2024, the staff member returned to his duty station from Rest and Recuperation (R&R). The period of qualifying service for the R&R entitlement was 28 days and he was eligible for another R&R from 16 June 2024. He left the duty station on 13 June 2024. He requested R&R for 23-27 June 2024.

The UNAT noted that the staff member had left the duty station with the expectation that the following days of 14-22 June 2024, which constituted a combination of non-working days, United Nations Official holidays, and annual leave, would not interrupt or suspend, but contribute to his qualifying...

The staff member submitted a claim for compensation for an injury attributable to the performance of official duties. The Advisory Board on Compensation Claims found her claim time-barred. She requested the Advisory Board to reconsider her claim and attached a new claim form, which stated a new date of the injury. She subsequently filed many claims and requests for reviews of alleged decisions and ¡°non decisions¡± concerning the processing of her claim.

The UNAT noted that it had rendered its prior Judgment in which it held that the staff member¡¯s application challenging alleged decisions and...

The staff member, who was serving in Khartoum, was evacuated when civil war erupted in Sudan. He submitted a claim for compensation for loss of personal effects attributable to service.

The UNAT held that by denying the staff member¡¯s request for referral to mediation the UNDT had lawfully exercised its case management discretion and had not committed an error of procedure.

The UNAT found that the UNDT had not erred when it identified the staff member¡¯s argument as a challenge to the policy of the Organization but had erred when it held that it did not have jurisdiction to incidentally examine...

The staff member, who was serving in Khartoum, was evacuated when civil war erupted in Sudan. She submitted a claim for compensation for loss of personal effects attributable to service.

The UNAT held that the UNDT had not erred, such as to affect the decision of the case, when it rejected the parties¡¯ joint motion to refer their case to mediation.

The UNAT found that the UNDT had not erred when it identified the staff member¡¯s argument as a challenge to the policy of the Organization but had erred when it held that it did not have jurisdiction to incidentally examine the consistency of...

The UNAT found that in the absence of an express mandate in the legal framework that a continuing appointment can be extended or a staff member be re-instated for the purpose of utilizing sick leave, Mr. Iacovino¡¯s entitlement to sick leave ceased on the date specified in his termination letter, 31 December 2023. The UNAT recognized that pursuant to ST/AI/2005/3, staff on fixed-term appointments may be granted an extension to utilize an entitlement to sick leave, but there is no analogous rule applicable to staff serving on a continuing appointment, much less to staff whose appointments have...

The UNAT found the UNRWA DT erred in law and in fact, resulting in a manifestly unreasonable decision, when it failed to properly consider Section 66 of UNRWA Area Personnel Directive No. PD/A/4/Part II/Rev. 7/Section I, which is geared toward ensuring gender balance, and when it took the irrelevant consideration of the recommendation of the third candidate into account, leading it to erroneously set Ms. Al Dawoud¡¯s chances for selection at 50 per cent instead of 100 per cent. The UNAT held that Section 66 expresses a preference for selection of candidates who are in the under-represented...

L¡¯UNAT a estim¨¦ que l¡¯inscription du nom de l¡¯ancien fonctionnaire dans la base de donn¨¦es ClearCheck r¨¦sultait de la d¨¦cision
d¨¦finitive de l¡¯Administration selon laquelle il avait commis des abus sexuels et du harc¨¨lement sexuel ¨¤ l¡¯encontre de la plaignante, et que, dans la mesure o¨´ cette inscription l¡¯emp¨ºchait d¡¯occuper ¨¤ l¡¯avenir un emploi au sein du syst¨¨me commun des Nations Unies, elle constituait en r¨¦alit¨¦ une mesure disciplinaire et devait ¨ºtre examin¨¦e en tant que telle.

L¡¯UNAT a estim¨¦ que le recours du Secr¨¦taire g¨¦n¨¦ral concernant le recours ¨¤ un expert en psychologie dans l...

L¡¯UNAT a not¨¦ que, dans sa requ¨ºte, le fonctionnaire avait clairement identifi¨¦ la d¨¦cision contest¨¦e comme ¨¦tant le courriel de la Caisse des pensions l¡¯informant que ses prestations de retraite avaient d¨¦j¨¤ ¨¦t¨¦ vers¨¦es et qu¡¯il n¡¯avait droit ¨¤ aucune autre
prestation.

L¡¯UNAT a not¨¦ qu¡¯il n¡¯avait pas demand¨¦ de r¨¦examen de la d¨¦cision ni interjet¨¦ appel devant le Comit¨¦ permanent du Conseil de la Caisse des pensions, mais qu¡¯il avait plut?t d¨¦pos¨¦ une demande d¡¯¨¦valuation par la direction, puis interjet¨¦ appel devant le Tribunal des litiges. L¡¯UNAT a estim¨¦ que, de ce fait, il n¡¯avait pas...
