L¡¯UNAT a estim¨¦ que l¡¯UNDT n¡¯avait pas commis d¡¯erreur de droit dans son interpr¨¦tation de l¡¯article 10.1(b) du R¨¨glement du
personnel et avait ¨¤ juste titre jug¨¦ que la notion de ? perte financi¨¨re ? exigeait un pr¨¦judice p¨¦cuniaire d¨¦montrable et quantifiable pour l¡¯Organisation, directement caus¨¦ par une faute intentionnelle, imprudente ou gravement n¨¦gligente de la part du fonctionnaire, et non compens¨¦ par une contrepartie de valeur ¨¦quivalente ou sup¨¦rieure.

Le Tribunal administratif des Nations unies a rejet¨¦ l¡¯argument du Secr¨¦taire g¨¦n¨¦ral selon lequel toute utilisation non autoris¨¦e...

En ce qui concerne le recours form¨¦ contre l¡¯ordonnance n¡ã 46 (GVA/2025) rejetant la requ¨ºte de M. Turcanu visant ¨¤ obtenir la
suspension de la d¨¦cision contest¨¦e dans l¡¯attente de l¡¯examen judiciaire de sa demande au fond, le Tribunal d¡¯appel a rappel¨¦ qu¡¯en vertu de l¡¯article 10, paragraphe 2, du Statut du TNDU et de l¡¯article 14 du R¨¨glement du TNDU, le TNDU ne peut suspendre
l¡¯ex¨¦cution d¡¯une d¨¦cision contest¨¦e dans les affaires relatives ¨¤ la nomination, ¨¤ la promotion ou ¨¤ la cessation de fonctions. Il a ¨¦galement rappel¨¦ qu¡¯une d¨¦cision de ne pas renouveler une nomination relevait de la...

The UNAT held that the UNDT did not err in law in its interpretation of Staff Rule 10.1(b) and properly held that ¡°financial loss¡± requires a demonstrable and quantifiable monetary detriment to the Organization, directly caused by the staff member¡¯s wilful, reckless, or grossly negligent misconduct, and not offset by equivalent or greater value received.

The UNAT rejected the Secretary-General¡¯s argument that any unauthorized use of funds constitutes ¡°financial loss¡±, holding that this conflates misconduct with loss.Accordingly, it held that the failure to follow procurement procedures...

As to the appeal of Order No. 46 (GVA/2025) dismissing Mr. Turcanu¡¯s motion seeking the suspension of the contested decision pending judicial review of his substantive application, the Appeals Tribunal recalled that pursuant to Article 10(2) of the UNDT Statute and Article 14 of the UNDT Rules, the UNDT may not suspend the implementation of a contested decision in cases of appointment, promotion or termination. It also recalled that a decision not to renew an appointment was a matter concerned with the ¡°appointment¡± of a staff member. The Appeals Tribunal concluded that under the terms of...

Le fonctionnaire, qui occupait le poste de charg¨¦ adjoint des droits de l¡¯homme de classe P-2, a postul¨¦ au poste de charg¨¦ des droits de l¡¯homme de classe P-4. Le responsable du recrutement a proc¨¦d¨¦ ¨¤ un examen sur dossier des candidatures et a, ¨¤ l¡¯issue de celui-ci, d¨¦cid¨¦ de ne pas retenir le fonctionnaire. En cons¨¦quence, sa candidature n¡¯a pas ¨¦t¨¦ retenue dans le cadre du
processus de s¨¦lection.

L¡¯UNAT a not¨¦ que le UNDT avait jug¨¦ impossible de d¨¦terminer si le document produit par le Secr¨¦taire g¨¦n¨¦ral, refl¨¦tant
l¡¯¨¦valuation par l¡¯Administration des comp¨¦tences, de l¡¯exp¨¦rience et de...

The staff member, who served as an Associate Human Rights Officer at the P-2 level, applied for the Human Rights Officer post at the P-4 level. The hiring manager conducted a desk review of the job applications and, as a result, decided not to shortlist the staff member. Accordingly, his candidacy did not proceed in the selection process.

The UNAT noted that the UNDT had found it impossible to determine whether the document produced by the Secretary-General, reflecting the Administration¡¯s assessment of the staff member¡¯s skills, experience and suitability, constituted a ¡°contemporaneous...

Le Tribunal administratif des Nations unies (UNAT) a estim¨¦ que le directeur technique de l¡¯UNRWA n¡¯avait pas commis d¡¯erreur en concluant que la requ¨ºte de l¡¯ancien membre du personnel n¡¯¨¦tait pas recevable ratione materiae. L¡¯UNAT a jug¨¦ que le Bureau des affaires internes et de la surveillance (DIOS) ne disposait d¡¯aucun pouvoir d¨¦cisionnel quant au fond de sa plainte pour repr¨¦sailles et qu¡¯il avait men¨¦ son enqu¨ºte uniquement dans le cadre de la proc¨¦dure d¡¯enqu¨ºte, ce qui ne constituait pas une d¨¦cision
administrative susceptible de recours.

De m¨ºme, le TNA a estim¨¦ que la conclusion du...

The UNAT held that the UNRWA DT did not err in finding that the former staff member¡¯s application was not receivable ratione materiae.The UNAT found that DIOS had no decision-making authority in addressing the substance of his complaint of retaliation and that it undertook its investigation merely as a step in the investigative process that did not amount to a reviewable administrative decision.

Similarly, the UNAT found that the Ethics Office¡¯s determination that it had not been established that retaliation had occurred, and its subsequent closure of the file without further investigation...

Bien que le Secr¨¦taire g¨¦n¨¦ral ne f?t pas partie ¨¤ l¡¯ordonnance contest¨¦e, l¡¯UNAT a estim¨¦ qu¡¯il avait un int¨¦r¨ºt direct et recevable dans un recours visant ¨¤ d¨¦terminer si le TNDU est habilit¨¦ ¨¤ d¨¦cider si son repr¨¦sentant l¨¦gal doit ¨ºtre exclu de la possibilit¨¦ de compara?tre dans de futures affaires et dans des affaires sans rapport devant le TNDU. Si le TDN est habilit¨¦ ¨¤ ordonner une telle mesure, cela fait peser un risque important d¡¯atteinte ¨¤ l¡¯autorit¨¦ du Secr¨¦taire g¨¦n¨¦ral de nommer des membres du personnel pour exercer des fonctions juridiques, d¡¯allouer ses ressources juridiques et...

L¡¯UNAT a estim¨¦ que la proc¨¦dure neutre de premi¨¨re instance mise en place par l¡¯OMI, ¨¤ savoir le SAB, ¨¦tait correctement
constitu¨¦e et r¨¦pondait aux exigences de l¡¯article 2, paragraphe 10, du Statut de l¡¯UNAT. L¡¯UNAT a rejet¨¦ l¡¯argument selon lequel le SAB manquait de neutralit¨¦. L¡¯UNAT a ¨¦galement estim¨¦ que le SAB avait ¨¦tabli un compte rendu ¨¦crit suffisant de sa d¨¦cision.

L¡¯UNAT a estim¨¦ que le SAB avait agi dans les limites de sa juridiction et de sa comp¨¦tence lorsqu¡¯il avait r¨¦examin¨¦ la d¨¦cision du Secr¨¦taire g¨¦n¨¦ral sur recommandation de l¡¯ABCC. Le SAB avait tenu d?ment compte du...

Although the Secretary-General was not a party to the impugned Order, the UNAT held that the Secretary-General had a direct and cognizable interest in an appeal which considers whether the UNDT is entitled to determine whether his legal representative should be disbarred from appearing in future cases and unrelated cases before the UNDT. If the UNDT is empowered to order as much, it raises a significant risk of harm to the Secretary-General¡¯s authority to appoint staff members to perform legal functions, allocate its legal resources, and hold staff members accountable in accordance with the...

The UNAT found that the neutral first instance process established by the IMO, i.e., the SAB, was properly constituted and met the requirements of Article 2(10) of the UNAT Statute. The UNAT rejected the argument that the SAB lacked neutrality. The UNAT also found that the SAB produced a sufficient written record of its Decision.

The UNAT found that the SAB acted within the bounds of its jurisdiction and competence when it reviewed the decision of the Secretary-General on the recommendation of the ABCC. The SAB had close regard to the fact that the ABCC reached its determination on the medical...
