Ģ��ƵAT Held or Ģ��ƵDT Pronouncements

The Tribunal held that the evidence before it showed that the Applicant had signed a contract with Ģ��ƵOPS governed by the terms and conditions of the Ģ��ƵOPS Individual Contractor Agreement which, among others, provided that the Applicant had a status of an independent contractor, and was not to be regarded, for any purpose, as a staff member of Ģ��ƵOPS or any other entity of the United Nations. Therefore, the Applicant, not being a staff member of Ģ��ƵOPS or any other entity of the United Nations, had no locus standi before the Tribunal. As a result, the application was struck out as being not receivable.

Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed

The Applicant contested the incorrect labeling of his duties during an investigation conducted by the Internal Audit and Investigation Group of Ģ��ƵOPS in Morocco.

Legal Principle(s)

The jurisdiction of the Ģ��ƵDT is limited only to persons who are staff members of the United Nations or who were former staff members as set out in art. 3.1 of the Ģ��ƵDT Statute.
