Under the applicable legal framework, Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAMI and KJSO, like other United Nations organs, consistently and uniformly use the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵORE in all conversions to local currency, whether they involve transactions, determination of staff entitlements, or other financial recordings.

Specifically, the Applicant takes issue with the Tribunal¡¯s finding in paragraph 60(b) that he ¡°failed to substantiate that the chosen candidate was not qualified either academically or by way of relevant managerial and supply chain experience¡±.

The Tribunal held that paragraph 60(b) of the judgment was both comprehensible and clear...

The Applicant is entitled to a compensation calculated as the difference in salary, allowances, and other entitlements between the FS-5 level and the FS-4 level, for the period November 2018 to September 2022, plus interest at the rate correspondent to the rate of inflation, including the...
