WHO CAN USE THE SYSTEM

Three key components of the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ¡¯s internal justice system are the Office of Staff Legal Assistance (OSLA), the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Dispute Tribunal (Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµDT) and the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Appeals Tribunal (Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT).

The table below lists which staff can make use of each of the three components and which cannot. Note that all staff listed below can appeal to the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Appeals Tribunal, but some staff from some entities can appeal administrative decisions directly to Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT without applying to the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµDT first. The Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA) has its own dispute tribunal. The decisions of the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA Dispute Tribunal can be appealed to Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT.
