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...

The UNAT held that entering the former staff member's name into the ClearCheck database was because of the Administration¡¯s final determination that he sexually abused and sexually harassed the Complainant, and as the entry precludes him from any future employment in the United Nations common system, it was effectively a disciplinary measure and should be reviewed as such.

The UNAT found that the Secretary-General¡¯s appeal regarding the engagement of a psychology expert in UNDT Order No. 053 was receivable. The UNAT found that the UNDT, by engaging an expert to ¡°analyze the facts¡± and ¡°ask...

The UNAT noted that in his application, the staff member had clearly identified the contested decision as the Pension Fund¡¯s email which informed him that his pension benefits had already been paid and there were no further entitlements.

The UNAT noted that he had not requested a review of the decision or filed an appeal to the Standing Committee of the Pension Board but rather had filed a request for management evaluation and then appealed to the Dispute Tribunal. The UNAT held that, as such, he had not followed proper procedure under the rules of the Pension Fund.

The UNAT concluded that the...

L¡¯UNAT a estim¨¦ que le recours form¨¦ par BK contre une ordonnance de gestion de l¡¯instance ne relevait pas de la cat¨¦gorie
restreinte de cas dans lesquels l¡¯UNDT aurait manifestement outrepass¨¦ sa comp¨¦tence ou ses pouvoirs en statuant sur une
question interlocutoire. Ses demandes d¡¯anonymat dans ses deux affaires port¨¦es devant l¡¯UNDT ont ¨¦t¨¦ accueillies, et rien
n¡¯indique que, malgr¨¦ cet anonymat, des ¨¦l¨¦ments permettant de l¡¯identifier auraient pu ¨ºtre divulgu¨¦s dans l¡¯un quelconque des
documents accessibles au public. La d¨¦cision de l¡¯UNDT de rendre un jugement d¨¦finitif n¡¯a pas non plus...

The UNAT held that BK¡¯s appeal of a case management order does not fall in the narrow set of cases where the UNDT manifestly exceeded its jurisdiction or powers in determining an interlocutory issue. His requests for anonymity in both of his UNDT cases were granted, and there is no indication that despite anonymity, any identifying material could have been disclosed in any of the publicly available records. Nor did the UNDT¡¯s decision to proceed to final judgment exceed its jurisdiction.

The UNAT held that the UNDT¡¯s denial of BK¡¯s inadequately supported requests for a stay, and proceeding to...

Le Tribunal administratif des Nations unies (UNAT) a estim¨¦ que le directeur technique de l¡¯UNRWA n¡¯avait pas commis d¡¯erreur en concluant que la requ¨ºte de l¡¯ancien membre du personnel n¡¯¨¦tait pas recevable ratione materiae. L¡¯UNAT a jug¨¦ que le Bureau des affaires internes et de la surveillance (DIOS) ne disposait d¡¯aucun pouvoir d¨¦cisionnel quant au fond de sa plainte pour repr¨¦sailles et qu¡¯il avait men¨¦ son enqu¨ºte uniquement dans le cadre de la proc¨¦dure d¡¯enqu¨ºte, ce qui ne constituait pas une d¨¦cision
administrative susceptible de recours.

De m¨ºme, le TNA a estim¨¦ que la conclusion du...

The UNAT held that the UNRWA DT did not err in finding that the former staff member¡¯s application was not receivable ratione materiae.The UNAT found that DIOS had no decision-making authority in addressing the substance of his complaint of retaliation and that it undertook its investigation merely as a step in the investigative process that did not amount to a reviewable administrative decision.

Similarly, the UNAT found that the Ethics Office¡¯s determination that it had not been established that retaliation had occurred, and its subsequent closure of the file without further investigation...

L¡¯UNAT a estim¨¦ que l¡¯UNDT avait commis une erreur en concluant que les faits ¨¦tablis ¨¤ l¡¯origine des all¨¦gations ne constituaient pas une faute professionnelle. Elle a jug¨¦ que la participation r¨¦guli¨¨re de l¡¯ancien membre du personnel ¨¤ des ¨¦changes portant sur le partage d¡¯informations non publiques, ainsi que ses communications avec M.R., une personne s¡¯exprimant publiquement sur des questions relatives au Bureau de gestion des investissements (OIM), constituaient une divulgation non autoris¨¦e ou, ¨¤ tout le moins, une participation ¨¤ un partage non autoris¨¦ d¡¯informations non publiques.

L...

The UNAT held that the UNDT erred in finding that the established facts underlying the allegations did not amount to misconduct. It found that the former staff member's sustained participation in exchanges concerning the sharing of non-public information and his communications with M.R., an individual engaging publicly on matters pertaining to the Office of Investment Management (OIM), constituted unauthorized disclosure or, at minimum, participation in unauthorized sharing of non-public information.

The UNAT held that the UNDT erred in characterizing as too vague the allegation that the...

L¡¯UNAT a estim¨¦ que les questions soulev¨¦es en appel portaient sur les points suivants : le TND avait-il commis une erreur en
d¨¦clarant la requ¨ºte irrecevable au motif que la demande d¡¯¨¦valuation de la direction n¡¯avait pas ¨¦t¨¦ formul¨¦e dans le d¨¦lai
obligatoire de 60 jours ? Avait-il commis une erreur en d¨¦terminant la date de notification de la d¨¦cision administrative contest¨¦e? Et les conclusions relatives ¨¤ la perte d¡¯objet ou aux violations all¨¦gu¨¦es des garanties proc¨¦durales avaient-elles une incidence sur l¡¯issue de l¡¯affaire ? Elle a rappel¨¦ que son r?le en appel se limite ¨¤...

L¡¯UNAT a estim¨¦ que les questions soulev¨¦es en appel portaient sur les points suivants : le Tribunal administratif des Nations unies (UNTD) avait-il commis une erreur en concluant que le Secr¨¦taire g¨¦n¨¦ral avait l¨¦galement exerc¨¦ son pouvoir discr¨¦tionnaire en annulant l¡¯offre d¡¯emploi ? Recrutement ¨¤ partir de la liste de r¨¦serve ? ; cette d¨¦cision reposait-elle sur des motifs rationnels et
raisonnables ; et l¡¯UNTD avait-il commis une erreur en rejetant les all¨¦gations du fonctionnaire relatives ¨¤ une discrimination, ¨¤ un motif ill¨¦gitime ou ¨¤ une irr¨¦gularit¨¦ de proc¨¦dure?

L¡¯UNAT a estim¨¦ que...
