Le TUNU a not¨¦ que, dans son jugement, le DT de l'UNRWA avait ordonn¨¦ au Commissaire g¨¦n¨¦ral de verser ¨¤ Mme Smadi la diff¨¦rence entre les salaires et les avantages sociaux correspondant ¨¤ son grade HL6 et ¨¤ son ¨¦chelon et ceux correspondant au grade HL7 et ¨¤ l'¨¦chelon auxquels elle avait droit ¨¤ compter du 1er ao?t 2017.

Le TUNU a estim¨¦ que le libell¨¦ de l'ordonnance ¨¦tait sans ¨¦quivoque, tout comme ses termes. Le TUNU a estim¨¦ qu'il avait ¨¦galement ¨¦t¨¦ clairement indiqu¨¦ dans le jugement du DT de l'UNRWA que le taux pr¨¦f¨¦rentiel am¨¦ricain devait s'appliquer ¨¤ compter du 30 mai 2023. Le TUNU...

L'UNAT a conclu que l'UNDT n'avait pas commis d'erreur en estimant que les deux retards dans le traitement des plaintes de l'ancienne fonctionnaire ne constituaient pas une preuve de partialit¨¦ ¨¤ son ¨¦gard. L'UNAT a estim¨¦ que le retard seul n'¨¦tait pas r¨¦v¨¦lateur d'une partialit¨¦.

L'UNAT a en outre estim¨¦ que les all¨¦gations de l'ancienne fonctionnaire relatives ¨¤ un certain communiqu¨¦ de presse avaient d¨¦j¨¤ fait l'objet de d¨¦cisions rendues par le Tribunal et ne pouvaient faire l'objet d'un nouveau litige.

Le TUNI a ¨¦galement estim¨¦ que le TND avait correctement confirm¨¦ que la cr¨¦ation du...

L'UNAT a estim¨¦ que l'UNDT n'avait pas commis d'erreur en concluant qu'il avait ¨¦t¨¦ prouv¨¦ par des ¨¦l¨¦ments clairs et convaincants que la fonctionnaire s'¨¦tait livr¨¦e ¨¤ du harc¨¨lement et ¨¤ des abus de pouvoir, avait utilis¨¦ son poste ¨¤ des fins personnelles pour nuire ¨¤ la situation d'un coll¨¨gue, avait divulgu¨¦ des informations sensibles, n'avait pas signal¨¦ les ¨¦ventuels fautes professionnelles d'autres personnes, avait utilis¨¦ une adresse ¨¦lectronique personnelle en violation des dispositions applicables et avait ¨¦chang¨¦ des messages inappropri¨¦s au sujet de coll¨¨gues.

Le TUNAT a estim¨¦ que...

L'UNAT a conclu qu'il existait des preuves claires et convaincantes que M. Hunt, en coordination avec des coll¨¨gues, communiquait secr¨¨tement avec un journaliste au sujet de la transaction du Fonds d'investissement, du processus d'approbation et du r?le de l'ancien repr¨¦sentant du Secr¨¦taire g¨¦n¨¦ral (RSG), et qu'il avait ainsi divulgu¨¦ des informations au journaliste.

L'UNAT a estim¨¦ que M. Hunt n'avait pas prouv¨¦ que son action consistant ¨¤ signaler une ¨¦ventuelle faute professionnelle au sein de la Caisse commune des pensions du personnel des Nations Unies ¨¤ des sources ext¨¦rieures ¨¦tait une...

Le TUNC a not¨¦ que l'outil de classification des emplois de l'Agence avait ¨¦t¨¦ utilis¨¦ pour reclasser les postes des membres du personnel. Le TUNC a estim¨¦ que le DT de l'UNRWA n'avait pas commis d'erreur en statuant sur l'affaire en l'absence du document complet intitul¨¦ ? Master Standard for Classification ? (Norme principale de classification) de la Commission de la fonction publique internationale. Le TUNC a donn¨¦ raison au Commissaire g¨¦n¨¦ral en estimant que les rapports de classification ¨¦taient pertinents et suffisants pour les d¨¦cisions du DT de l'UNRWA.

Le TUNAT a estim¨¦ que, malgr¨¦...

L'UNAT a not¨¦ que, conform¨¦ment au r¨¨glement du personnel de l'ISA, l'UNAT a la comp¨¦tence d'? ordonner une mesure provisoire afin d'apporter une aide temporaire ¨¤ l'une ou l'autre des parties afin d'¨¦viter un pr¨¦judice irr¨¦parable et de maintenir la coh¨¦rence avec la d¨¦cision prise en premi¨¨re instance ?. L'UNAT a ¨¦galement comp¨¦tence pour ordonner des mesures provisoires dans les cas appropri¨¦s d¨¦coulant d'un litige relevant de l'ISA, comme c'est le cas dans la requ¨ºte de M. Hall.

Toutefois, l'UNAT a estim¨¦ que M. Hall n'avait pas d¨¦montr¨¦ que des mesures provisoires ¨¦taient n¨¦cessaires pour...

L'UNAT a estim¨¦ que le Fonds avait raisonnablement choisi une p¨¦riode de 30 ans pour son analyse statistique afin de d¨¦terminer s'il y avait des ? r¨¦sultats aberrants ? en termes de pensions per?ues par les b¨¦n¨¦ficiaires qui avaient choisi la Slovaquie comme pays de r¨¦sidence. De m¨ºme, le TFP a estim¨¦ que les conclusions tir¨¦es par la Caisse ¨¤ partir de cette analyse ¨¦taient correctes, soulignant que le graphique montrait une grande disparit¨¦ entre les b¨¦n¨¦ficiaires r¨¦sidents ayant pris leur retraite entre 1993 et 2007 et ceux ayant pris leur retraite apr¨¨s cette p¨¦riode, disparit¨¦ due...

The UNAT was of the view that the UNDT¡¯s analysis of the applicable legal framework governing the education grant, specifically the costs admissible for reimbursement, had been erroneous and the UNDT had exceeded its jurisdiction when it found the promulgation of the amended administrative instruction unlawful. The UNAT found that the UNDT had failed to provide the reasons, facts and law on which it had based its Judgment.

The UNAT held that the fees which were clearly intended to cover extra-curricular activities or general non-academic services, and were not intended to cover administrative...

The UNAT held that the UNDT had not erred in finding that it had been proven by clear and convincing evidence that the staff member had engaged in harassment and abuse of authority, used her office for personal reasons to prejudice the position of a colleague, disclosed sensitive information, failed to report the possible misconduct of others, used a personal e-mail address contrary to the applicable provisions, and exchanged inappropriate messages about colleagues.

The UNAT found that regardless of whether she had been a whistleblower engaged in a protected activity, there was no evidence that...

The UNAT noted that the Agency¡¯s job classification tool had been used to reclassify the staff members¡¯ posts. The UNAT found that the UNRWA DT had not erred when it had decided the case in the absence of the full document of the International Civil Service Commission¡¯s ¡°Master Standard for Classification¡±. The UNAT agreed with the Commissioner-General that the Classification Reports were relevant and sufficient for the UNRWA DT¡¯s determinations.

The UNAT held that notwithstanding the various anomalies in the reclassification process, the staff members had failed to show anything specific that...

Le TUNAT a not¨¦ que le comit¨¦ d'entretien avait d¨¦sign¨¦ la fonctionnaire comme l'une des candidates recommand¨¦es pour le poste, mais que le rapport de recrutement ne mentionnait pas, par erreur, si elle avait ¨¦t¨¦ consid¨¦r¨¦e sur une base d'¨¦quivalence. Le TUNAT a observ¨¦ que le comit¨¦ consultatif avait par la suite estim¨¦ que son exp¨¦rience ne lui permettait pas de b¨¦n¨¦ficier de l'¨¦quivalence et qu'elle ne remplissait pas les conditions requises en mati¨¨re de formation.

Le TPNU a estim¨¦ que, comme la fonctionnaire avait ¨¦t¨¦ s¨¦lectionn¨¦e ¨¤ tort, sa participation au reste du processus de...

The UNAT found that there was clear and convincing evidence that Mr. Hunt, in coordination with colleagues, was covertly communicating with a news media reporter on the Investment Fund transaction, the approval process, and the former Representative of the Secretary-General (RSG)¡¯s role and had thereby leaked information to the reporter.

The UNAT held that Mr. Hunt failed to prove that his action of reporting possible misconduct within UNJSPF to outside sources was a protected activity under the Secretary-General¡¯s Bulletin on protection against retaliation. The UNAT agreed with the UNDT¡¯s...

The UNAT held that the Secretary-General had not implicitly withdrawn delegated authority to the Under-Secretary-General for Management Strategy, Policy and Compliance (USG/DMSPC) when the Chef de Cabinet sought advice from the USG/DMSPC.

The UNAT held that the UNDT did not err in concluding that the USG/DMSPC reasonably rejected the report of the March 2020 Alternate Chair. The UNAT affirmed that the Administration was empowered impliedly to decline to act on a report that it considered as having exceeded its authorized parameters. Moreover, the UNAT concluded that the USG/DMSPC had the...

The UNAT concluded that the UNDT did not err in finding that two periods of delay in addressing the former staff member¡¯s complaints was not evidence of bias against her. The UNAT held that delay alone is not indicative of bias.

The UNAT further held that the former staff member¡¯s claims related to a certain press release had been decided by prior Tribunal judgments and could not be relitigated.

The UNAT also found that the UNDT correctly confirmed that the establishment of the fact-finding Panel, its process of fact-finding and reporting, and its interactions with the former staff member as...

The UNAT noted that as per ISA¡¯s Staff Rule the UNAT has the competence to ¡°order an interim measure to provide temporary relief to either party to prevent irreparable harm and to maintain consistency with the decision taken at the first instance level¡±. The UNAT also has jurisdiction to order interim measures in appropriate cases arising out of an ISA dispute as is the case in Mr. Hall¡¯s Motion.

However, the UNAT found that Mr. Hall had failed to demonstrate that relief by way of interim measures was necessary to prevent irreparable harm and to maintain consistency with the JAB¡¯s decision. Mr...

L'UNAT a estim¨¦ que la cr¨¦ation du poste de repr¨¦sentant sp¨¦cial adjoint (DSR), dans le cadre de la mise en ?uvre des recommandations visant ¨¤ restructurer le Bureau des territoires palestiniens occup¨¦s, constituait une d¨¦cision administrative de nature g¨¦n¨¦rale. Il a en outre conclu que, bien que le nouveau mandat du poste de RDS transf¨¨re ¨¤ son titulaire certaines fonctions et responsabilit¨¦s qui faisaient auparavant partie du mandat du fonctionnaire, cette r¨¦attribution ne suffisait pas ¨¤ elle seule pour conclure que la cr¨¦ation du poste de RDS avait des cons¨¦quences juridiques directes...

The UNAT held that the former staff member¡¯s challenge was to a recommendation of the Alternate Chair of the Ethics Panel, and as an ethics recommendation, it was not an administrative decision subject to judicial review. Thus, the UNDT correctly dismissed this part of the application as not receivable.

The UNAT further found that the Administration¡¯s rejection of the March 2020 Alternate Chair¡¯s report and recommendation could not have been understood by the Ethics Office to be a request to conduct a new review. The UNAT observed that the evidence before the UNDT was that the decision was...

The UNAT held that the Fund reasonably chose a 30-year timeframe for its statistical analysis to determine whether there were ¡°aberrant results¡± in terms of pensions received by beneficiaries who had chosen Slovakia as their country of residence. Similarly, the UNAT held that the conclusions drawn by the Fund from the analysis were properly reached, highlighting that the graph showed a wide disparity between resident beneficiaries who separated from 1993 to 2007 and those who separated afterwards, a disparity solely due to differences in separation dates.

The UNAT found that the suspension...

The UNAT held that the facts were established by clear and convincing evidence. It held that the Complainant¡¯s testimony was consistent with her earlier statements, except for the date of the incident. However, the correction of the date she made at the hearing was found to be in good faith and did not undermine her credibility. Her account was corroborated by two other staff members, M.V. and M.M., both of whom testified before the UNDT. The UNAT also held that the former staff member failed to show that these witnesses had any motive to falsely implicate him. It noted that the former...

The UNAT noted that the interview panel had nominated the staff member as one of the recommended candidates for appointment to the post but the Recruitment Report had been erroneously silent as to whether she had been considered on an equivalency basis. The UNAT observed that the advisory committee had subsequently found that her experience did not qualify her for equivalency and that she had not met the educational qualifications.

The UNAT held that because the staff member had been wrongly shortlisted, her participation in the remainder of the recruitment process had been unlawful and any...
