The issue of disclosing an investigation report is not new. It was, in fact, considered by this Tribunal in its judgments Adorma ±¬ÁÏÍøDT/2010/205 and Haydar ±¬ÁÏÍøDT/2012/201 as well as by ±¬ÁÏÍøAT in judgment Ivanov 2015-±¬ÁÏÍøAT-519. In the latter, ±¬ÁÏÍøAT entered into consideration of the non-disclosure of an investigation report despite the fact that the Secretary-General had questioned the ±¬ÁÏÍøDT¡¯s jurisdiction over such a decision. The Organisation¡¯s obligations as stipulated in ST/SGB/2008/5 are an integral part of a staff member¡¯s contractual rights. They include the obligations of the Organisation and...

Knowledge of several internal candidates in a D-1 recruitment process...

±¬ÁÏÍøDT held that the application was not receivable ratione materiate, as the Applicant did not request management evaluation, as required. ±¬ÁÏÍøDT dismissed the application.

±¬ÁÏÍøDT found the application materially receivable as it concerned a decision that was appropriately the subject of judicial review. ±¬ÁÏÍøDT found that the decision to reassign the Applicant rather than place her on administrative leave, was taken balancing her best interest with those of the Organization. These reasons were supported by evidence. The Tribunal further held that the Applicant failed to meet her burden of proving any improper motive, irregularity or unlawfulness on the part of the Respondent in the decision to re-assign her duties. ±¬ÁÏÍøDT therefore held that the presumption of...

As per the account of both parties, previously awarded costs had been paid and, thus, what remained to be considered is if the 2014 contested decision has been fully rescinded or not. The issues at stake are of a medical nature and that is why this Tribunal remanded the matter by Order No. 24 (GVA/2016) so that a Medical Board is convened and a determination on the Applicant¡¯s sick leave entitlements is made. This medical determination is a condition sine qua non for the submission for consideration for a disability benefit by the ±¬ÁÏÍøSPC. Contrary to what the Applicant argues, ±¬ÁÏÍøJSPF...
