The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT held that the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT erred in suggesting that it was the former staff member¡¯s burden to provide evidence to support his assertion that his request for review had been pending before the Dispute Tribunal since July 2009 and to produce a record of his case having been transferred to it from the JDC in July 2009.

The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT further held that the Administration¡¯s response, that his claim was closed due to his failure to pursue it for over 12 years, was neither an administrative decision, nor was it the Administration¡¯s prerogative to make regarding the judicial proceeding. The Administration...

The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT held that even though the Commissioner-General had mistakenly reimbursed the fine to Mr. El-Haj after the issuance of the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵRWA DT Judgment, since the fine was subsequently reimposed, the appeal was not moot.

The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT held that in order to find that a staff member¡¯s conduct was ¡°serious misconduct¡± so as to warrant a more serious sanction, the Commissioner-General had to provide reasons for this determination. In this case, the Commissioner-General provided no reasons, and the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT rejected the Commissioner-General¡¯s argument that reasons were not necessary because it was manifestly...

The Appeals Tribunal analyzed the text of Appendix D, from the 1966 version, and concluded that: (a) widows are eligible to receive compensation at a rate of two-fifths of a deceased staff member¡¯s annual salary; (b) if the deceased staff member is survived by more than one widow, the compensation shall be split evenly between the widows; (c) all pension benefits paid through the staff member¡¯s Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵJSPF entitlement shall be deducted from the compensation paid under Appendix D; and the deduction shall not reduce the amount of Appendix D compensation otherwise payable to less than 10 per cent of...

The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT expressed serious concern about the lack of a sufficient record of reasons supporting the choice of the selected candidate over the staff member at the time of the contested decision.

The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT found that gender and geographical considerations were unevenly applied in the selection exercise, positively assessing the British male while ignoring or discounting that the staff member was an Indian female. Contrary to Staff Regulation 4.4, in which the fullest regard should be given to internal candidates, the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT found that her Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ experience was used to disadvantage her. The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT also...

L'Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT a not¨¦ que la demande de mutation du membre du personnel avait ¨¦t¨¦ approuv¨¦e par le bureau ext¨¦rieur de Cisjordanie, mais que le bureau ext¨¦rieur de Jordanie avait par la suite inform¨¦ que la demande ne pouvait ¨ºtre accept¨¦e en raison d'un engagement pris dans le cadre de la feuille de route concernant l'embauche de travailleurs journaliers ¨¤ des postes ¨¤ dur¨¦e d¨¦termin¨¦e.

L'Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT a estim¨¦ que le Commissaire g¨¦n¨¦ral avait d¨¦montr¨¦ les efforts d¨¦ploy¨¦s par les deux bureaux ext¨¦rieurs pour traiter la demande de transfert et que l'Agence s'¨¦tait acquitt¨¦e de son obligation de prouver que la...

The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT noted that the staff member¡¯s transfer request had been approved by the West Bank Field Office but the Jordan Field Office had subsequently informed that the request could not be accommodated due to a commitment to the roadmap on hiring daily-paid workers in fixed-term posts.

The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT held that the Commissioner-General had demonstrated the efforts made by both Field Offices to process the transfer request and the Agency¡¯s burden to show that the request had been given full and fair consideration was satisfied. The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT found that the staff member had not discharged the burden of...

Le Tribunal d'appel a estim¨¦ que, dans son traitement rigide des preuves relatives au comportement d'AAY, l'Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT n'a pas tenu compte de ce qu'avait admis AAY lorsqu'il avait ¨¦t¨¦ interrog¨¦ par le Bureau des services de contr?le interne. Le fait qu'AAY ait choisi de ne pas t¨¦moigner lors de l'audition de l'Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT montre clairement qu'il s'en tient ¨¤ la d¨¦claration qu'il a faite aux enqu¨ºteurs du BSCI. L'Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT ¨¦tait tenue de prendre en compte cette preuve incontest¨¦e de sa part dans son ¨¦valuation de la preuve de la faute commise ¨¤ son encontre, d'autant plus qu'il n'a pas choisi de t¨¦moigner...

Le TANU a estim¨¦ que le Tribunal avait commis une erreur de fait, entra?nant une d¨¦cision manifestement d¨¦raisonnable, lorsqu'il a constat¨¦ qu'une d¨¦cision de licenciement avait ¨¦t¨¦ prise le 1er avril 2022. ? cet ¨¦gard, le TANU a constat¨¦ que la d¨¦cision de placer une note dans le dossier administratif de l'ancien fonctionnaire avait ¨¦t¨¦ prise le 1er avril 2022, mais que la d¨¦cision de licenciement avait en fait ¨¦t¨¦ prise le 11 mars 2022. Par cons¨¦quent, le TANU aurait d? identifier l'une ou l'autre d¨¦cision comme ¨¦tant la d¨¦cision contest¨¦e, mais il a commis une erreur en suivant l...

Le TANU a estim¨¦ que le Tribunal n'avait pas commis d'erreur en concluant que l'acte du fonctionnaire consistant ¨¤ offrir un jouet sexuel ¨¤ un subordonn¨¦ ¨¦tait inappropri¨¦, car il transgressait la fronti¨¨re entre la vie professionnelle et la vie personnelle du subordonn¨¦, m¨ºme si l'¨¦v¨¦nement s'¨¦tait d¨¦roul¨¦ en priv¨¦. Qu'il ait ¨¦t¨¦ sollicit¨¦ ou non, il pouvait avoir un impact n¨¦gatif sur l'image et les int¨¦r¨ºts de l'Organisation. Par cons¨¦quent, le TANU a conclu qu'en agissant de la sorte, l'agent n'avait pas respect¨¦ les normes requises pour son r?le de gestionnaire.

Le TANU a ¨¦galement estim¨¦...

Le TANU a not¨¦ qu'avant que le requ¨¦rant ne devienne membre du personnel, il avait ¨¦t¨¦ employ¨¦ par l'Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵRWA en tant que personnel compl¨¦mentaire n'ayant pas le statut de membre du personnel et qu'il n'avait droit ¨¤ aucune prestation au-del¨¤ de ce qui avait ¨¦t¨¦ ¨¦tabli pour les travailleurs r¨¦mun¨¦r¨¦s ¨¤ la journ¨¦e. Le TANU a observ¨¦ que ni ses contrats de service ¨¤ la journ¨¦e ni un ¨¦chantillon de contrats de service ¨¤ la journ¨¦e applicables ¨¤ l'¨¦poque ne mentionnaient le paiement d'une quelconque indemnit¨¦ ¨¤ l'expiration.

Le TANU a constat¨¦ qu'¨¤ chaque expiration du contrat de services journaliers...

Le TANU a estim¨¦ que le pr¨¦sident du Conseil de l'OACI, en prenant la d¨¦cision de ne pas approuver la nomination de l'agent au poste, avait tenu compte de consid¨¦rations pertinentes : l'agent avait fait l'objet d'une ¨¦valuation n¨¦gative de la part du jury d'entretien et du centre d'¨¦valuation, et pr¨¦sentait de graves faiblesses dans les domaines de la vision et d'autres comp¨¦tences essentielles pour l'OACI. Le TANU a estim¨¦ que les raisons invoqu¨¦es par le pr¨¦sident ¨¦taient conformes aux faits.

Le TANU a estim¨¦ que, bien que le pr¨¦sident ait discut¨¦ de la question avec certains membres du jury...

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 le Comit¨¦ permanent de la Caisse commune des pensions du personnel des Nations Unies avait jug¨¦ ¨¤ juste titre que Mme Briel n'avait pas droit ¨¤ l'allocation de veuvage.

Le TANU a estim¨¦ que Mme Briel aurait d? soumettre son recours au TANU en utilisant le formulaire prescrit, accompagn¨¦ d'un m¨¦moire expliquant ses motifs de recours, d'autant plus qu'elle avait re?u des instructions claires de la part du greffe du TANU. N¨¦anmoins, le TANU a examin¨¦ le bien-fond¨¦ de son recours.

Le TANU a constat¨¦ qu'au moment du d¨¦c¨¨s du d¨¦funt participant, celui-ci n'avait pas d¨¦clar¨¦ Mme...

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 held that the Standing Committee of Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵJSPB had appropriately found Ms. Briel ineligible to receive a widow¡¯s benefit.

The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT found that Ms. Briel should have submitted her appeal to the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT using the prescribed form, accompanied by a brief explaining her grounds for appeal, particularly given that she had received clear instructions from the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT Registry. Nonetheless, the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT reviewed the merits of her appeal.

The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT found that, at the time of the late participant¡¯s death, he had not reported Ms. Briel as his spouse or common-law spouse. Moreover, there was no evidence to...

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...

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.

The Appeals Tribunal found that in its rigid treatment of the evidence in relation to AAY¡¯s conduct, the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT failed to have appropriate regard to what had been admitted to by AAY when interviewed by OIOS. The fact that AAY chose not to testify at the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT hearing made it clear that he stood by his statement to the OIOS investigators. The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT was required to consider this undisputed evidence from him in its assessment whether the misconduct against him had been proved, more so in circumstances in which he did not elect to testify further in his own defence. The fact that the three witnesses...

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...
