The Tribunal's findings were as follows:

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 UNDT Statute.

The performance appraisal was conducted and completed with a "successfully meets expectations" rating by the Applicant¡¯s FRO and endorsed by her SRO.

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 Â鶹APP 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 also agreed...

Le tribunal a jug¨¦ que le requ¨¦rant avait prouv¨¦ que le processus de restructuration de l'unit¨¦ de gestion de programme conduisant ¨¤ l'abolition de son poste et donc le non-renouvellement de son contrat ¨¦tait arbitraire, Caprious, motiv¨¦s par les pr¨¦jug¨¦s, proc¨¦duraux irr¨¦guliers et une erreur de droit. par son non-respect des r¨¨glements et des r¨¨gles pour la restructuration et l'abolition du poste de sp¨¦cialiste des finances, le Tribunal a convenu avec le demandeur qu'il avait ¨¦t¨¦ distingu¨¦ parmi les trois membres du personnel international , pour ouvrir la voie pour le personnel national...

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 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. De plus, il a viol¨¦ le paragraphe 24 (e) du cadre juridique du PNUD, l'article 3 de la politique du PNUD sur la fraude et les autres pratiques de corruption applicables ¨¤ l'¨¦poque (politique anti-Fraud du PNUD)...

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.

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...

Dans ses soumissions, elle a fait valoir qu'elle avait agi honn¨ºtement et avec honn¨ºtet¨¦. Elle a donn¨¦ des raisons pour lesquelles elle pensait pouvoir utiliser les actifs de l'organisation pour un b¨¦n¨¦fice personnel. Le tribunal a constat¨¦ que les justifications du demandeur n¡¯¨¦taient ¨¦tay¨¦es par aucune r¨¨gle ou r¨¨glement.

Le tribunal a jug¨¦ que les faits ¨¦tablis constituaient clairement une faute inculp¨¦e. Les ¨¦l¨¦ments de l'accusation de encourage et de dissimulation de la fraude ont ¨¦t¨¦ ¨¦tablis par le biais de la preuve. Le requ¨¦rant qui avait la possession de connaissances importantes sur le...

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 UNDP Legal Framework, Section 3 of the UNDP Policy on Fraud and other Corrupt Practices applicable at the time (UNDP Anti-Fraud Policy) and UNDP¡¯s Guidelines and Procedures on National Implementation...

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 further held that the Applicant had failed to identify an administrative decision capable of being reviewed, that is, a final, precise decision taken by a competent authority having direct adverse...

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. In her submissions, she argued that she acted truthfully and with honesty. She gave reasons why she thought she could use Organization¡¯s assets for personal benefit. The Tribunal found that the Applicant¡¯s justifications were not supported by any rule or regulation. She acted dishonestly in breach of integrity standards by using the Organization¡¯s UPS facility for personal benefit without any lawful justification. The Tribunal found that the...

The Tribunal agreed with the Respondent that the Applicant was reckless in his failure to report a fraud which he was aware of. He chose to conceal and abet the perpetration of a fraud. The facts were established to the requisite standard by the Applicant¡¯s own admissions and the evidence on record. 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.
