Application for suspension of action pending management evaluation in disciplinary matters: It is clear from a plain reading of article 2.2 of the Tribunal¡¯s Statute, article 13.1 of its Rules of Procedure and staff rule 11.2 that the two former provisions apply only where management evaluation is required. In the instant case, the contested decision is a disciplinary measure which can be challenged before the Tribunal without first seeking management evaluation. Thus, the Tribunal cannot rely on these provisions to order the requested suspension of action pending management evaluation...

Date of implementation of the contested decision: Although the Tribunal has taken different approaches with respect to the date of implementation of selection decisions pursuant to ST/AI/2010/3, a selection decision must be considered as implemented once the Organization receives the selected candidate¡¯s unconditional acceptance of the offer of appointment.

The formation of the employment contract, which results in the implementation of the post selection decision, will precede the date on which a successful candidate will assume his/her new...

As such, it is a decision open to appeal before the Tribunal. Interim measures: The Tribunal may only grant suspension of action on a decision as an interim measure under articles 10.2 of the Statute and 14 of the Rules of procedure during the proceedings of a case, that is, when there is an application against the same decision pending before it. Management evaluation/receivability of suspension...
