Le TANU a estim¨¦ que l'ancienne fonctionnaire n'avait aucune esp¨¦rance l¨¦gitime de renouvellement de son engagement ¨¤ dur¨¦e d¨¦termin¨¦e, ¨¦tant donn¨¦ qu'il n'y avait aucune preuve que l'administration avait fait une promesse expresse qui aurait pu cr¨¦er une telle esp¨¦rance. Au contraire, le TANU a constat¨¦ que l'administration avait d?ment inform¨¦ tous les membres du personnel concern¨¦s, y compris l'ancienne employ¨¦e, de la date de fin du projet MADAD et qu'elle avait publi¨¦ 15 postes d'employ¨¦s de bureau en interne, en invitant le personnel ¨¤ postuler ¨¤ d'autres postes. Le TANU a ¨¦galement...

Le TANU a estim¨¦ que M. Almasri ne remplissait pas les conditions requises pour la r¨¦vision de l'arr¨ºt ant¨¦rieur du TANU. Le principal grief de M. Almasri ¨¦tait que la r¨¦paration qui lui avait ¨¦t¨¦ accord¨¦e ne l'avait pas rendu ¨¦ligible ¨¤ une meilleure pension de retraite sur la base d'un service r¨¦put¨¦ plus long et d'ant¨¦c¨¦dents en mati¨¨re de cotisations.

Le TANU a constat¨¦ que M. Almasri n'avait avanc¨¦ aucun fait nouveau qui aurait ¨¦t¨¦ inconnu de lui ou du TANU ¨¤ l'¨¦poque de l'arr¨ºt pr¨¦c¨¦dent, ni aucun fait qui aurait ¨¦t¨¦ d¨¦cisif dans la prise de d¨¦cision s'il avait ¨¦t¨¦ connu. Au contraire...

Le TANU a estim¨¦ que l'invocation par le requ¨¦rant de l'article 2 du statut du TANU pour sa demande de r¨¦vision ¨¦tait malavis¨¦e et, en tant que telle, n'¨¦tait pas recevable et manquait de fondement. Le TANU a n¨¦anmoins examin¨¦ sa demande de r¨¦vision dans le cadre juridique appropri¨¦, ¨¤ savoir l'article 11 du statut du TANU et l'article 24 du r¨¨glement int¨¦rieur du TANU.

Le TANU a estim¨¦ que, hormis le fait que la demande avait ¨¦t¨¦ d¨¦pos¨¦e dans un d¨¦lai d'un an ¨¤ compter de l'arr¨ºt du TANU en question, la demande de r¨¦vision ne r¨¦pondait ¨¤ aucune des exigences statutaires. Aucun fait d¨¦couvert...

Le TANU a not¨¦ que l'Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT n'avait pas commis d'erreur lorsqu'elle avait ¨¦tabli que l'agent avait utilis¨¦ de mani¨¨re inappropri¨¦e l'ordinateur portable fourni par son employeur pour acc¨¦der ¨¤ des sites web sexuellement explicites et qu'il s'¨¦tait livr¨¦ ¨¤ de multiples reprises ¨¤ des activit¨¦s ext¨¦rieures non autoris¨¦es. Le TANU a estim¨¦ qu'il n'avait pas obtenu l'autorisation de continuer ¨¤ ¨ºtre l'actionnaire majoritaire et le directeur d'une soci¨¦t¨¦.

Le TANU a estim¨¦ que l'Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT n'avait pas commis d'erreur en estimant que l'activit¨¦ de l'agent constituait une faute. Le TANU a estim¨¦ que les...

Le TANU a not¨¦ que l'agent avait fait partie du personnel dont les engagements ¨¤ dur¨¦e d¨¦termin¨¦e n'avaient pas ¨¦t¨¦ renouvel¨¦s en raison de la fermeture de la mission de la MINUAD.

En ce qui concerne son coll¨¨gue qui a ¨¦t¨¦ r¨¦affect¨¦ lat¨¦ralement au si¨¨ge et qui est donc rest¨¦ en service, le TANU a constat¨¦ que la r¨¦affectation ¨¦tait directement li¨¦e au fait incontest¨¦ que le coll¨¨gue ne pouvait pas ¨ºtre rapatri¨¦ en Afghanistan pour des raisons de s?ret¨¦ et de s¨¦curit¨¦. Le TANU a estim¨¦ que si la l¨¦galit¨¦ de la d¨¦cision de r¨¦affectation n'avait pas ¨¦t¨¦ soumise ¨¤ son appr¨¦ciation, il n'¨¦tait pas...

The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT noted that the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT had not erred when it established that the staff member had improperly used his employer-issued laptop to access sexually-explicit websites and engaged in multiple instances of unauthorized outside activities. The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT held that he had not obtained approval to continue being the majority shareholder and director of a company.

The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT was of the view that the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT had not erred when it found that the staff member¡¯s activity constituted misconduct. The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT found that his contributions to the overall running of the business were material. The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT agreed with the...

The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT held that the applicant¡¯s reliance on Article 2 of the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT Statute for his application for revision was misguided and as such, was not receivable and lacked merit. The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT nonetheless reviewed his application for revision under the appropriate legal framework, which is in Article 11 of the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT Statute and Article 24 of the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT Rules of Procedure.

The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT held that other than the application being filed within one year of the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT Judgment at issue, the application for revision did not comply with any of the statutory requirements. There was no fact discovered after the issuance...

The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT held that Mr. Almasri did not fulfil the requirements for revision of the prior Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT Judgment. Mr. Almasri¡¯s primary complaint was that the remedy awarded to him failed to make him eligible for a better retirement pension based on a longer deemed service and contribution history.

The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT found that no new fact was advanced by Mr. Almasri that had been unknown either to him or the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT at the time of the prior Judgment, nor one that would have been decisive in reaching the decision had it been known. Instead, it was Mr. Almasri¡¯s negligence that brought about his factual ignorance...

The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT noted that before the applicant became a staff member, he had been employed by Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵRWA as complementary personnel with non-staff status and was not entitled to any benefit beyond what had been established for daily-paid workers. The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT observed that neither his daily-paid service contracts nor a sample of daily-paid service contracts applicable at the relevant time mentioned payment of any compensation upon expiration.

The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT found that upon each expiry of the applicant¡¯s daily-paid service contract, it was successively renewed and he was bound by the Agency¡¯s regulations and...

The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT found that the decision not to select the staff member for TJO 161651 was lawful. It held that since the staff member did not challenge the cancellation of TJO 14924, under which the Administration initially advertised the position of Administrative Officer, that cancellation decision was not part of the contested decision under review. In any event, the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT determined that the Administration had the discretion to cancel TJO 149241 and re-advertise the position under TJO 161651 after the selected candidate withdrew her candidature. It was under no obligation to invite the second...

Le Tribunal d'appel a rejet¨¦ les deux appels.

Le Tribunal d'appel a estim¨¦ que le Tribunal du contentieux administratif avait correctement constat¨¦ que la lettre d'inculpation ne constituait pas une d¨¦cision administrative susceptible de recours et que, de ce fait, la requ¨ºte de M. Schifferling n'¨¦tait pas recevable ratione materiae.

Le Tribunal a ¨¦galement estim¨¦ que la question de savoir si le Tribunal avait commis une erreur en ne joignant pas le Secr¨¦tariat en tant que partie n¨¦cessaire ¨¤ la requ¨ºte ¨¦tait devenue sans objet et qu'en tout ¨¦tat de cause, l'appel interlocutoire n'¨¦tait pas...

The Appeals Tribunal dismissed both appeals.

The Appeals Tribunal held that the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT correctly found that the Charge Letter did not constitute a reviewable administrative decision, and that as such Mr. Schifferling¡¯s application was not receivable ratione materiae.

The Appeals Tribunal further found that the question of whether the Dispute Tribunal erred in not joining the Secretariat as a necessary party to the application had become moot and that in any event, the interlocutory appeal was not receivable.

Le TANU a estim¨¦ que le Tribunal n'avait pas commis d'erreur en concluant que la demande de l'agent n'¨¦tait pas recevable parce qu'il n'avait pas demand¨¦ l'¨¦valuation de la d¨¦cision contest¨¦e par l'encadrement dans le d¨¦lai l¨¦gal de 60 jours. Le TANU a d¨¦termin¨¦ que, puisque l'agent avait ¨¦t¨¦ inform¨¦ les 27 et 28 avril 2022 du rejet de sa demande d'¨¦valuation m¨¦dicale, il disposait d'un d¨¦lai de 60 jours ¨¤ compter de cette date pour introduire sa demande d'¨¦valuation par l'encadrement. Cependant, il n'a soumis sa demande au Groupe du contr?le hi¨¦rarchique que le 3 novembre 2022, puis au...

The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT held that the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT did not err in finding that the staff member¡¯s application was not receivable because he failed to request management evaluation of the contested decision within the 60-day statutory time limit. The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT determined that, since the staff member was notified on 27 and 28 April 2022 of the rejection of his request for medical evaluation, he had 60 days from that date to submit his request for management evaluation. However, he only submitted his request to the Management Evaluation Unit on 3 November 2022, and later to the United Nations Development Programme (Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDP) on...

Le TANU a estim¨¦ que le TNDU n'avait pas commis d'erreur en concluant que la mesure disciplinaire impos¨¦e ¨¦tait l¨¦gale.
Le TANU a rejet¨¦ l'argument de l'ancien membre du personnel selon lequel la d¨¦cision de M¨¦decins sans fronti¨¨res (MSF) lui interdisant de collaborer avec l'association ¨¤ l'avenir ne pouvait ¨ºtre qualifi¨¦e de mesure disciplinaire, puisqu'elle lui avait ¨¦t¨¦ communiqu¨¦e alors qu'il n'¨¦tait plus employ¨¦ par l'association. Le TANU a estim¨¦ que cet argument n'¨¦tait pas recevable, car il avait d¨¦j¨¤ ¨¦t¨¦ pr¨¦sent¨¦ devant le TNDU.
En tout ¨¦tat de cause, le TANU a d¨¦termin¨¦ que la...

The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT held that the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT did not err in finding that the disciplinary measure imposed was lawful.

The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT rejected the former staff member¡¯s argument that the decision of Doctors Without Borders (DWB) prohibiting him from collaborating with the association in the future, could not be characterized as a disciplinary measure, since it was communicated to him after he was no longer employed by the association. The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT held that this argument was not admissible, as it had already been presented before the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT.

In any event, the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT determined that the decision from DWB constituted a...

The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT held that the former staff member had no legitimate expectation of renewal of her fixed-term appointment, as there was no evidence that the Administration had made any express promise that would have created such an expectation. On the contrary, the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT found that the Administration had properly informed all affected staff, including the former staff member, of the last date of the MADAD Project and advertised 15 clerical posts internally, inviting staff to apply for alternative positions. The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT further held that these actions should be viewed in light of the continuous efforts...

The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT held that the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT did not err in finding that the staff member¡¯s action of gifting a sex toy to a subordinate was inappropriate, as it transgressed the boundary between the professional and personal life of the subordinate, even if the event took place in private. Whether solicited or not, it had the potential to negatively impact the image and interests of the Organization. Consequently, the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT concluded that by doing so, the staff member failed to uphold the required standard expected of her role as a manager.

The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT also found that the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT committed no error in finding that...

The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT noted that the staff member had been among the staff whose fixed-term appointments were not renewed due to the closure of the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAMID mission.

With regard to his colleague who was laterally reassigned to the Headquarters and consequently remained in service, the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT found that the reassignment had been directly related to the undisputed fact that the colleague could not have been repatriated to Afghanistan for safety and security reasons. The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT was of the view that without the lawfulness of the reassignment decision having been placed before it for determination, it was unable to...

Le TANU a estim¨¦ que la demande de r¨¦vision n'¨¦tait pas fond¨¦e. Le TANU a consid¨¦r¨¦ qu'¨¦tant donn¨¦ que tous les ¨¦l¨¦ments de preuve pr¨¦sent¨¦s par la requ¨¦rante comme nouveaux avaient toujours ¨¦t¨¦ en sa possession et qu'elle ne les avait jamais mentionn¨¦s ou n'avait fait aucun effort pour les faire produire au cours de la proc¨¦dure judiciaire, ces ¨¦l¨¦ments de preuve n'¨¦taient pas nouveaux pour elle.
Le TANU a en outre not¨¦ que les observations de la requ¨¦rante r¨¦p¨¦taient ou compl¨¦taient essentiellement les m¨ºmes arguments que ceux qu'elle avait soulev¨¦s devant le TANU dans les proc¨¦dures...
