Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ

Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT noted that Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT¡¯s review of the factual situation by necessity involved consideration of issues beyond the mere fact of the non-renewal of the Appellant¡¯s contract and, thus, found no merit in the Appellant¡¯s submission that Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT¡¯s deliberations on the issue of non-renewal took place in isolation of the facts surrounding the decision. With respect to the Appellant¡¯s contention that Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT failed to account for the negative impact of the non-renewal of his personal and professional life, Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT found no error in the Secretary-General¡¯s exercise of discretion to take action to address the potential negative impact of allegations on the reputation and proper functioning of the Organisation. Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT held that the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT Judge considered both the reasons for the non-renewal of the contract and the circumstances surrounding the making of the decision. Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT held that neither the failure of Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT to address the extent to which the press conference had been sanctioned nor the failure to record in its judgment that allegations had been made against others were omissions constituted, on the part of Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT, manifestly unreasonable decisions such as to impugn its judgment. Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT dismissed the appeal and upheld the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT judgment.
