The staff member, who was serving in Khartoum, was evacuated when civil war erupted in Sudan. He submitted a claim for compensation for loss of personal effects attributable to service.

The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT held that by denying the staff member¡¯s request for referral to mediation the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT had lawfully exercised its case management discretion and had not committed an error of procedure.

The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT found that the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT had not erred when it identified the staff member¡¯s argument as a challenge to the policy of the Organization but had erred when it held that it did not have jurisdiction to incidentally examine...

The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT noted that the staff member had requested management evaluation 64 days after he was informed of the contested decision.

The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT found no merit in the staff member¡¯s arguments that the delay in requesting management evaluation had been minimal or that his permanent incapacity constituted a force majeure which the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT was obliged to consider.

The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT found no error in the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT finding the application not receivable ratione materiae.

The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT dismissed the appeal and affirmed the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT Judgment.

L¡¯Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT a estim¨¦ que l¡¯Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT n¡¯avait pas commis d¡¯erreur dans la d¨¦finition de la port¨¦e de la demande de M. Kebede, et que son all¨¦gation de repr¨¦sailles syst¨¦miques n¡¯avait pas ¨¦t¨¦ valablement soumise ¨¤ l¡¯Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT. M. Kebede n¡¯a contest¨¦ la d¨¦cision de
non-s¨¦lection que dans sa demande d¡¯¨¦valuation par la direction et dans sa requ¨ºte adress¨¦e ¨¤ l¡¯Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT.

Le TNDU a partag¨¦ l¡¯avis du Secr¨¦taire g¨¦n¨¦ral selon lequel il n¡¯existait aucune preuve de fausset¨¦ mat¨¦rielle ou de d¨¦claration trompeuse de la part de l¡¯Administration ¨¤ l¡¯¨¦gard du TNDU concernant la note attribu¨¦e ¨¤ M. Kebede lors de l¡¯entretien...

The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT found that the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT did not err in its framing of the scope of Mr. Kebede¡¯s application, and that his claim of systemic retaliation was not properly before the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT. Mr. Kebede only contested the non-selection decision both in his request for management evaluation and application to the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT.

The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT agreed with the Secretary-General that there was no evidence of material falsehood or misrepresentation by the Administration to the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT relating to Mr. Kebede¡¯s rating during the interview for the post. The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT noted that the ¡°Partially Satisfactory¡± rating was an assessment of how Mr...

L¡¯Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT a estim¨¦ que l¡¯ancien membre du personnel n¡¯avait pas demand¨¦ d¡¯audience orale au cours de la proc¨¦dure devant l¡¯Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT et ne pouvait donc pas ¨ºtre autoris¨¦ ¨¤ le faire en appel. L¡¯Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT, en tant qu¡¯instance charg¨¦e d¡¯appr¨¦cier les faits, ne peut ¨ºtre contourn¨¦e.

L¡¯Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT n¡¯a constat¨¦ aucune erreur dans la conclusion de l¡¯Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT selon laquelle les griefs formul¨¦s par l¡¯ancien membre du
personnel apr¨¨s sa cessation de service sortaient du champ de comp¨¦tence de cette derni¨¨re et n¡¯¨¦taient pas recevables, faute de
demande pr¨¦alable et introduite dans les d¨¦lais en vue d¡¯une ¨¦valuation par la...

The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT held that the former staff member did not request an oral hearing during proceedings before the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT and thus cannot be allowed to do so on appeal. The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT as the trier of fact cannot be bypassed.

The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵAT found no error in the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT¡¯s finding that the former staff member¡¯s post-separation grievances were beyond its scope of adjudication and not receivable because there was no prior and timely request for management evaluation. The sanction for non-compliance with this mandatory internal procedure is the non-receivability of the application challenging the contested decision.
