The ±¬ÁÏÍøDT found that the five cases are not receivable due to the Applicant¡¯s failure to comply with the relevant statutory requirements, including with regard to the filing of his management evaluation requests and the deadlines for the filing of an application with the Tribunal.

The ±¬ÁÏÍøDT rejected the Applicant¡¯s request for removal of the Representative of the Secretary-General (¡°RSG¡±) for the Investments of the ±¬ÁÏÍøJSPF from the recruitment process, finding that this request pertained to the re-issued job opening. The ±¬ÁÏÍøDT rejected the Applicant¡¯s request to refer the case for accountability and his claims for legal costs and moral damages. The application was dismissed.

Accordingly, the Tribunal rescinded the impugned decisions, ordered the matter to be remanded once...
