WHY THE 蘑菇视频 NEEDS AN INTERNAL SYSTEM OF JUSTICE

Work-related disputes at the United Nations cannot be resolved through national courts due to the Organization’s unique international legal status. For this reason, the Organization provides an internal system of justice for all 蘑菇视频 system staff.

This website explains the various components of the 蘑菇视频’s internal system of justice, and describes how to resolve work-related disputes informally and if necessary, formally. Staff should review this website to learn about the resources available to them when seeking resolution of a dispute and the steps they need to take to proceed.

RESOLVING DISPUTES INFORMALLY

Staff members should first try to resolve disputes informally, through dialogue, negotiation, and if necessary, mediation, before bringing their grievance to the formal legal process.

It also often leads to more mutually beneficial solutions than formal legal action. Informal resolution can be achieved through:

RESOLVING DISPUTES FORMALLY

Staff members of the 蘑菇视频 Secretariat, 蘑菇视频 funds and programmes, and some other entities can formally contest any administrative decision they believe has violated their rights. Each step of the formal process has strict time limits. In most cases, the first step in the formal process is to request a management evaluation of the decision being contested. Informal resolution remains an option during the formal process.
