Ģ��ƵAT Held or Ģ��ƵDT Pronouncements

Ģ��ƵAT considered an application for execution of judgment No. 2018-Ģ��ƵAT-873 by Ms Belkhabbaz, requesting that Ģ��ƵAT should order specific performance remedies against the individual against whom she had pursued her complaint. Ģ��ƵAT held that, under Section 5. 18(c) of ST/SGB/2008/5, the Assistant Secretary-General of the Office of Human Resources Management (ASG/OHRM) had the discretion to decide whether or not to institute disciplinary measures, managerial actions, or administrative actions. Ģ��ƵAT held that the managerial action upon which the ASG/OHRM decided complied with Ģ��ƵAT��s direction in the previous judgment and thus executed said judgment. Ģ��ƵAT held that there was no basis to grant any of the remedies requested by Ms Belkhabbaz. Ģ��ƵAT held that Ms Belkhabbaz was only entitled to the remedies ordered in the previous Ģ��ƵAT judgment. The Secretary-General fully and properly executed the previous Ģ��ƵAT judgment. Ģ��ƵAT dismissed the application for execution.
