The impugned decision related to the use of the performance appraisal to penalize the Applicant.

It had jurisdiction to review an impugned decision which meets the requirements under art. 2.1(a) of the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDT Statute.

Le Tribunal a estim¨¦ que le remboursement de l'imp?t est r¨¦gi par un r¨¦gime juridique sp¨¦cifique et unique qui a fait l'objet de d¨¦lib¨¦rations approfondies de la part de l'Assembl¨¦e g¨¦n¨¦rale. L'article 3.3(f) du Statut du personnel ne peut ¨ºtre interpr¨¦t¨¦ comme un "autre paiement" dans la disposition 3.17(ii) du Statut du personnel.

Le Tribunal a accept¨¦ l'interpr¨¦tation du requ¨¦rant selon laquelle les paiements au titre de la disposition 3.17(ii) concernent tous les membres du personnel et toutes les nationalit¨¦s des Nations Unies et ne sont pas limit¨¦s aux seuls citoyens am¨¦ricains comme...

The Tribunal held that tax reimbursement is governed by a specific and unique legal regime carefully deliberated upon by the General Assembly. Staff regulation 3.3(f) cannot be read into ¡°other payments¡± in staff rule 3.17(ii).

The Tribunal agreed with the Applicant¡¯s understanding that payments under staff rule 3.17(ii) relate to all staff and all nationalities of the United Nations and are not restricted only to USA citizens as in the case for reimbursement of income tax under staff regulation 3.3(f). Hence, the two cannot be read together or have same application.

The Tribunal held that the Applicant had proven that the process of restructuring of the Programme Management Unit leading to the abolition of his post and hence the non-renewal of his contract was arbitrary, capricious, motivated by prejudice, procedurally irregular and an error in law.By its failure to follow the Regulations and Rules for the restructuring and abolition of the Finance Specialist position, the Tribunal agreed with the Applicant that he was singled out among the three international staff members, to pave way for national staff without a legitimate objective criterion, and in...

Le tribunal a jug¨¦ que: le requ¨¦rant n'avait pas montr¨¦ quelles conditions de sa nomination ou quelles r¨¨gles et r¨¨glements avaient ¨¦t¨¦ viol¨¦s par le non-reclassement de l'administration ¨¤ reclasser un poste qu'il a convoit¨¦ et ¨¤ budg¨¦ter; qu'il n'avait pas montr¨¦ que le processus de classification avait ¨¦t¨¦ achev¨¦; et qu'il conteste une d¨¦cision finale de ce processus conform¨¦ment aux dispositions de ST / AI / 1998/9.

Le tribunal a constat¨¦ qu'en tant que directeur du pays, en instruisant le membre du personnel le plus junior de la cha?ne de commandement dans le processus d'approvisionnement, de forger un document et en agissant sur ce document par son approbation et son approbation de la demande officielle qui a ¨¦t¨¦ d¨¦form¨¦e, la Le demandeur a viol¨¦ les r¨¨gles et r¨¨glements cit¨¦s par l'organisation.

La justification de l'imposition d'une telle mesure administrative extraordinaire en mati¨¨re d'Alwop concernant l'inconduite sexuelle est double, tout d'abord pour dissuader les membres du personnel de s'engager dans l'exploitation sexuelle et les abus et, deuxi¨¨mement, pour prot¨¦ger les int¨¦r¨ºts de l'organisation en confirmant son int¨¦grit¨¦ et son r¨¦putation. Toute d¨¦cision d'¨¦tendre ALWOP doit ¨ºtre raisonnable et proportionn¨¦e. Une d¨¦cision d'¨¦tendre ALWOP est une mesure administrative drastique et devrait normalement ¨ºtre de courte dur¨¦e. Pour d¨¦terminer si une prolongation d'Alwop est...

Le requ¨¦rant qui avait la possession de connaissances importantes sur le...

The Tribunal held that: the Applicant had not shown which terms of his appointment or which rules and regulations were violated by the Administration¡¯s failure to reclassify a post he coveted and to budget for it; that he had not shown that the classification process had been completed; and that he was challenging a final decision from that process as per the provisions of ST/AI/1998/9.

The Tribunal found that, as Country Director, in instructing the most junior staff member within the chain of command in the procurement process, to forge a document and by acting on that document through his endorsement and approval of the Formal Request which was misrepresented, the Applicant breached the Organization's cited rules and regulations. Additionally he violated paragraph 24(e) of the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDP Legal Framework, Section 3 of the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDP Policy on Fraud and other Corrupt Practices applicable at the time (Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDP Anti-Fraud Policy) and Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵDP¡¯s Guidelines and Procedures on National Implementation...

The Tribunal held that the Applicant had an obligation as a staff member to uphold the highest standards of integrity which include acting with honesty.

The Tribunal held that the established facts clearly constituted misconduct as charged. The elements of the charge of abetting and concealing fraud were established through the evidence. The Applicant who had possession of important knowledge about fraudulent document passing through his office...

The rationale for imposing such an extraordinary administrative measure in matters of ALWOP concerning sexual misconduct is twofold, firstly to act as a deterrent for staff members from engaging in sexual exploitation and abuse and secondly, to protect the interests of the Organization by upholding its integrity and reputation. Any decision to extend ALWOP must be reasonable and proportionate. A decision to extend ALWOP is a drastic administrative measure and normally should be of short duration. In determining whether an extension of ALWOP is lawful, the Tribunal shall be guided by factors...

La demande a ¨¦t¨¦ th¨¦orique parce que la d¨¦cision contest¨¦e a ¨¦t¨¦ effectivement annul¨¦e et remplac¨¦e par des renouvellements ult¨¦rieurs de la nomination du demandeur. La demande a ¨¦t¨¦ rejet¨¦e.

Au moment de l'annulation, le processus de s¨¦lection n'¨¦tait pas termin¨¦. L'annulation elle-m¨ºme ¨¦tait une ¨¦tape interne pour faciliter une autre consid¨¦ration licite, ¨¤ savoir, la parit¨¦ entre les sexes, dans le processus de s¨¦lection. Il n'a pas occasionn¨¦ au demandeur de cons¨¦quences juridiques directes sur ses conditions de nomination ou de contrat d'emploi.
