The transitional measure under the new parental leave scheme grants an additional 10 weeks of SLWFP to staff members who were already on maternity leave on 1 January 2023. This measure was created to facilitate the transition from the previous parental leave scheme to the new one, and to enable equity and fairness in the treatment of staff members who became parents by giving birth. The Applicant, however, had exhausted her maternity leave entitlements and was instead on annual leave on 1 January 2023.

The Tribunal found no merit in her argument that she should be considered as still on...

The transitional measure under the new parental leave scheme grants an additional 10 weeks of special leave with full pay ("SLWFP") to staff members who were already on maternity leave on 1 January 2023. This measure was created to facilitate the transition from the previous parental leave scheme to the new one, and to enable equity and fairness in the treatment of staff members who became parents by giving birth.

The Tribunal found that the transitional measure was a fair, reasonable, and rational solution. Under it, all birthing parents that were still on maternity leave when the new policy...

Le Tribunal a rappel¨¦ qu'il n'est pas comp¨¦tent pour examiner les requ¨ºtes ¨¦manant de personnes qui ne sont pas membres du personnel.

Le Tribunal a estim¨¦ que la requ¨ºte n'¨¦tait pas recevable ratione personae parce qu'¨¤ la date d'introduction de la pr¨¦sente requ¨ºte, le requ¨¦rant n'¨¦tait pas membre du personnel des Nations Unies et que la d¨¦cision contest¨¦e n'avait aucune incidence sur le statut du requ¨¦rant en tant qu'ancien membre du personnel ou ne violait pas les termes de son ancienne nomination ou de son ancien contrat d'emploi.

The Tribunal recalled that it lacks jurisdiction to consider applications from non-staff members.

The Tribunal found that the application was not receivable ratione personae because at the date of the filing of the present application, the Applicant was not a staff member of the United Nations and the contested decision had no bearing on the Applicant¡¯s status as a former staff member or otherwise breached the terms of his former appointment or contract of employment.

Under the circumstances and considering that the application was not receivable, there was no need for the Tribunal to examine...

Demande d'anonymisation du requ¨¦rant

Le Tribunal a estim¨¦ que la pr¨¦sente affaire n'est pas comparable ¨¤ l'affaire AAE 2023-±¬ÁÏÍøAT-1332 car le requ¨¦rant ne fait r¨¦f¨¦rence qu'au ? pr¨¦judice que cette affaire lui a caus¨¦ ? et aux ? informations sensibles ? mentionn¨¦es dans l'affaire sans fournir d'autres raisons pour lesquelles le Tribunal s'¨¦carterait des principes de transparence et d'obligation de rendre compte.

Applicant¡¯s request for anonymization

The Tribunal found that the instant case is not comparable to AAE 2023-±¬ÁÏÍøAT-1332 as the Applicant only refers to the¡°harm this case has caused¡± him and the ¡°sensitive information¡± referred to in the case without providing further reasons for the Tribunal to deviate from the principles of transparency and accountability. Therefore, the Applicant¡¯s motion was denied.

Le d¨¦fendeur a contest¨¦ la recevabilit¨¦ de la requ¨ºte. Toutefois, le Tribunal l'a jug¨¦e recevable car il a consid¨¦r¨¦ que la requ¨¦rante contestait la d¨¦cision de ne pas ouvrir d'enqu¨ºte sur sa plainte pour conduite potentiellement interdite, et non le r¨¦sultat de l'¨¦valuation de la gestion comme le soutenait le d¨¦fendeur.

Receivability

The Respondent challenged the receivability of the application. However, the Tribunal found it receivable as it considered that the Applicant challenged the decision not to initiate an investigation into her complaint of potential prohibited conduct, and not the outcome of the management evaluation as argued by the Respondent.

The Tribunal recalled that it is not mandated to conduct a fresh investigation in the matter, nor to draw its own conclusions of the evidence. Instead, it is tasked with identifying whether the preliminary assessment was conducted properly based on the...

Les d¨¦clarations verbales g¨¦n¨¦rales, qui, selon le requ¨¦rant, ont ¨¦t¨¦ faites par son premier notateur lors de r¨¦unions d¡¯¨¦quipe, ne peuvent constituer une promesse expresse de renouvellement de son TA. Plus important encore, ces d¨¦clarations verbales ne contenaient pas les ¨¦l¨¦ments essentiels d¡¯une offre de renouvellement appropri¨¦e et concr¨¨te, tels que la dur¨¦e de la prolongation et le nom de la personne nomm¨¦e. En outre, le Tribunal a conclu qu¡¯aucun engagement officiel n¡¯avait ¨¦t¨¦ pris par ¨¦crit envers le requ¨¦rant pour justifier une attente de renouvellement de son TA.

Le Tribunal a...

General verbal statements, which the Applicant asserts were made by his Fist Reporting Officer during team meetings, cannot constitute an express promise to renew his TA. More importantly, such verbal statements lacked the essential elements of a proper and concrete offer of renewal, such as the duration of the extension and the name of the appointee. Furthermore, the Tribunal found that no official commitment was made to the Applicant in writing to substantiate an expectation of renewal of his TA.

The Tribunal found that performance management procedures governed by ST/AI/2010/5 and...

Le Tribunal a not¨¦ que les contestations/plaintes du requ¨¦rant ne d¨¦coulaient pas d¡¯une d¨¦cision administrative claire. La premi¨¨re contestation concernait un manquement pr¨¦sum¨¦ de l¡¯administration ¨¤ se conformer pleinement ¨¤ la section 2.4 ST/AI/1998/9 (Syst¨¨me de classification des postes). La seconde ¨¦tait fond¨¦e sur l¡¯hypoth¨¨se apparente du requ¨¦rant selon laquelle il aurait d? ¨ºtre reclass¨¦/promu au niveau GS-7 apr¨¨s la reclassification ¨¤ la hausse du poste qu¡¯il occupait.

En cons¨¦quence, le Tribunal a interpr¨¦t¨¦ la requ¨ºte dans son ensemble pour d¨¦terminer exactement le point de d¨¦part...

The Tribunal noted that the Applicant¡¯s challenges/complaints did not derive from one clear administrative decision. The first challenge was addressed to an alleged failure by the Administration to fully comply with sec. 2.4 ST/AI/1998/9 (System for the classification of posts). The second one was based on the Applicant¡¯s apparent assumption that he should have been upgraded/promoted to GS-7 level after the upward reclassification of the post he was encumbering.

As a result, the Tribunal interpreted the application as a whole to determine exactly the starting point of the Applicant¡¯s...

Apr¨¨s avoir examin¨¦ le dossier, le Tribunal a conclu que le requ¨¦rant n¡¯avait pas contest¨¦ les faits sur lesquels la mesure disciplinaire ¨¦tait fond¨¦e. Il n¡¯a pas contest¨¦ non plus que ses actes constituaient juridiquement une faute ou que ses droits ¨¤ une proc¨¦dure r¨¦guli¨¨re avaient ¨¦t¨¦ respect¨¦s. En cons¨¦quence, la principale question en l¡¯esp¨¨ce ¨¦tait de savoir si la mesure disciplinaire impos¨¦e ¨¦tait proportionn¨¦e ¨¤ l¡¯infraction commise. Cependant, comme la proportionnalit¨¦ de la sanction ne peut ¨ºtre examin¨¦e de mani¨¨re isol¨¦e, le Tribunal a jug¨¦ appropri¨¦ de se r¨¦f¨¦rer aux faits ¨¦tablis...

Having considered the case record, the Tribunal found that the Applicant did not contest the facts upon which the disciplinary measure was based. He did not contest either that his actions legally amounted to misconduct or that his due process rights were observed. Accordingly, the main issue in the present case was whether the disciplinary measure imposed was proportionate to the offense committed. However, as the proportionality of the sanction cannot be reviewed in isolation, the Tribunal deemed it appropriate to refer to the established facts and the misconduct as per the sanction letter.

La candidature n¡¯¨¦tait recevable qu¡¯en ce qui concerne la d¨¦cision de ne pas s¨¦lectionner la requ¨¦rante pour le poste G-7 d¡¯associ¨¦ principal en gestion des ressources, charg¨¦ de la lutte contre l¡¯exploitation et les atteintes sexuelles et sexuelles.

Receivability

The Tribunal found that to the extent the Applicant challenged the legal framework of ±¬ÁÏÍøHCR, and requested the removal of a part of para. 34 of the Recruitment and Assignments Policy, her application was not receivable ratione materiae. The application was only receivable concerning the decision not to select the Applicant for the G-7 position of Senior Resource Management Associate, Addressing SEA and SH.

The dispute between the parties relates to whether the Applicant met the condition of satisfactory service during his probationary period to warrant a contractual right to have his FTA converted into a CA. In this context, the Applicant claims that his FRO and SRO did not identify any performance shortcomings during the performance cycle, including at the two ¡°landmark¡± performance discussions they had previously to the contested decision. Allegedly, the first time he heard about any dissatisfaction with his performance was when he was informed that he would not receive a CA and, instead...
