2019-Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT-947, Madhoun
Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT noted that in the absence of a university degree, the Appellant did not satisfy the academic criterion stated in the vacancy announcement, but he was long-listed, which meant that Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA took his experience into consideration and decided that his additional years of experience justified his pre-selection. Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT held that Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA DT erred in fact in considering that Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA did not examine whether the experience of the Appellant could offset his lack of a university degree. Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAT held that the decision by Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA to limit the short-list to seven candidates with university degrees was reasonable and...

The Applicant did not seek management evaluation until several years after he was excluded from the lists of staff eligible for the conversion of their appointment. There is no doubt, therefore, that the Applicant did not challenge the implied decision in a timely manner.

The Tribunal recalled that a request for management evaluation is a sine qua non for bringing an application except in cases where the advice was obtained from technical bodies, as determined by the Secretary-General, or of a decision taken at Headquarters in New York to impose a disciplinary or non-disciplinary measure. In the present case, there was no decision imposing disciplinary or administrative measures. The Applicant did not request management evaluation of any administrative decision related to the conduct of the investigation. The failure to seek management evaluation before...

The Tribunal dismissed the application as irreceivable. The Applicant had requested the Tribunal to order a rescission of the decision to permanently withdraw his MINUSCA¡¯s driver¡¯s permit. The Tribunal noted that this request had been satisfied by the Administration. The relief having been fully granted, there was no longer a justiciable matter before the Tribunal, thus rendering the application moot.

Based on these very general principles, and in the lack of any further instruction or guidance¡ªat least, as relevant to the present case¡ªthe Tribunal sets out the following basic minimum standards that must apply when administering a written test: a)Generally, while the Administration enjoys a broad discretion on how to administer a written test, it must nevertheless do so in a reasonable, just and transparent manner otherwise, a job candidacy would not receive full and fair consideration. b)As also stated in the Manual, any assessment must be undertaken on the basis of a ¡°prescribed...
Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµDT/2019/149, Nyawa
Regarding the question of whether material facts were sufficiently established, the Tribunal concluded that they were sufficiently established except the allegations that the Applicant instructed other staff members to provide false information. The parties disputed whether the Applicant was a supervisor as charged. The Applicant did not fall under the category of ¡°supervisor ¡° as per the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµON Security and Safety Service (Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµON/SSS) SOP No 13. Undisputedly though, the Applicant carried out team leader functions and the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµON/SSS Daily Orders which assigned the Applicant to provide ¡°security...
Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµDT/2019/146, Abu Amra
The Applicant¡¯s request for management evaluation of 5 February is vague and fails to articulate the precise administrative decision he is contesting. It ambiguously mentions the recruitment processes for Job Openings (JOs) 108789 and 109656, the termination of his continuing appointment and the lack of effort by the Organization to find him a new post. Since the application makes no mention of the selection processes for JOs 108789 and 109656, the Tribunal will not address it. Consequently, the Tribunal¡¯s review will focus solely on whether the claims against the termination of the Applicant...
Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµDT/2019/147, Barri
The Applicant was required to submit a request for management evaluation. He did not do so within the expressly stipulated timeframe. Where the management evaluation was requested late, the result was as if it were not requested at all.
Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµDT/2019/145, Tshilanda
The evidence shows that the Applicant, on 6 June 2019, signed a contract with Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµFPA that was governed by the terms and conditions of the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµFPA individual contactors. Accordingly, the Applicant, not being a staff member of Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµFPA or any other entity of the United Nations, has no locus standi before this Tribunal. The present application cannot be entertained.
