2024-UNAT-1426, Qasem Abdelilah Mohammed Qasem
Le Tribunal d'appel a rejet¨¦ l'appel. Le Tribunal d'appel a estim¨¦ que l'UNDT avait correctement jug¨¦ que la demande de M. Qasem devant l'UNDT contestant la d¨¦cision de le placer en cong¨¦ administratif avec traitement avait ¨¦t¨¦ d¨¦pos¨¦e hors d¨¦lai et n'¨¦tait donc pas recevable ratione temporis. En outre, sa demande contestant la d¨¦cision de mener diverses enqu¨ºtes ¨¤ son sujet n'¨¦tait pas recevable ratione materiae en l'absence d'une demande de r¨¦vision de la d¨¦cision.
2024-UNAT-1426, Qasem Abdelilah Mohammed Qasem
The Appeals Tribunal dismissed the appeal. The Appeals Tribunal found that the UNDT correctly held that Mr. Qasem's application before the UNDT challenging the decision to place him on administrative leave with pay was filed untimely and was therefore not receivable ratione temporis. Furthermore, his application contesting the decision to conduct various investigations of him was not receivable ratione materiae in the absence of a request for decision review.
2024-UNAT-1410, AAH
Le TANU a estim¨¦ que les faits sur lesquels l'agent s'appuyait dans sa demande de r¨¦vision ¨¦taient tous post¨¦rieurs ¨¤ l'arr¨ºt du TANU et ne pouvaient donc pas servir de base ¨¤ la r¨¦vision ou au r¨¦examen des conclusions ant¨¦rieures du TANU. En particulier, le TANU a estim¨¦ que le dossier m¨¦dical de l'agent, indiquant un changement de son ¨¦tat de sant¨¦ apr¨¨s le prononc¨¦ de l'arr¨ºt du TANU, ne constituait pas un motif de r¨¦vision.
Toutefois, le TANU a acc¨¦d¨¦ ¨¤ la demande d'anonymat de l'agent pour le pr¨¦sent arr¨ºt uniquement, compte tenu de la port¨¦e limit¨¦e des questions soulev¨¦es et des...
2024-UNAT-1416, Langa Dorji
Le TANU a estim¨¦ que la demande de r¨¦vision de l'agent ne r¨¦pondait pas aux exigences statutaires ¨¦nonc¨¦es ¨¤ l'article 11, paragraphe 1, du statut du TANU. Le TANU a conclu que les arguments de l'agent reprenaient essentiellement ceux qu'il avait d¨¦j¨¤ avanc¨¦s devant le TANU et le TNDU. Par cons¨¦quent, le TANU a estim¨¦ que sa demande de r¨¦vision ¨¦quivalait ¨¤ une demande de r¨¦examen par le TANU de son pr¨¦c¨¦dent recours infructueux. En outre, le TANU a observ¨¦ que les observations du requ¨¦rant contenaient un certain nombre d'accusations injustes et inappropri¨¦es ¨¤ l'encontre des personnes qui...
2024-UNAT-1416, Langa Dorji
The UNAT held that the staff member's application for revision failed to meet the statutory requirements outlined in Article 11(1) of the UNAT Statute. The UNAT concluded that the staff member's arguments essentially reiterated those he previously advanced before the UNAT and the UNDT. As a result, the UNAT held that his application for revision amounted to a request for the UNAT to reconsider his previous unsuccessful appeal. Moreover, the UNAT observed that the applicant's submissions contained a number of unfair and inappropriate accusations against persons who had dealt with his case, and...
2024-UNAT-1410, AAH
The UNAT held that the facts upon which the staff member relied in his application for revision all post-dated the UNAT Judgment and therefore could not serve as a basis for revising or reconsidering the UNAT¡¯s prior conclusions. In particular, the UNAT found that the staff member¡¯s medical record, indicating a change in his condition after the issuance of the UNAT Judgment, did not constitute grounds for revising it.
However, the UNAT granted the staff member¡¯s request for anonymity for the present Judgment only, given the limited scope of the issues raised and the specific facts...
2023-UNAT-1377, Mohammad Almasri
L¡¯UNAT a estim¨¦ que le Tribunal avait eu raison de consid¨¦rer qu¡¯il existait clairement des ¨¦l¨¦ments de preuve suffisants pour ¨¦tayer la conclusion de l¡¯Administration selon laquelle les performances du fonctionnaire ne r¨¦pondaient que partiellement aux attentes et que cette pr¨¦occupation lui avait ¨¦t¨¦ communiqu¨¦e. Bien que la confirmation de la notation par le Comit¨¦ de r¨¦futation et la pr¨¦paration d'une deuxi¨¨me ¨¦valuation des performances ¨¤ court terme aient eu lieu apr¨¨s le non-renouvellement, l'UNAT a conclu que ces examens confirmaient n¨¦anmoins que l'¨¦valuation informelle pr¨¦alable de...
2023-UNAT-1407, Lars Ronved
M. Ronved a fait appel.
L'UNAT a rejet¨¦ l'appel et confirm¨¦ le jugement du UNDT.
L'UNAT a estim¨¦ que le Tribunal avait commis une erreur en jugeant la requ¨ºte irrecevable en ce qui concerne le refus d'une promotion temporaire ¨¤ la classe P-4. La d¨¦cision contest¨¦e devant le Tribunal du contentieux administratif ¨¦tait la d¨¦cision de proroger le SPA, que l'appelant a contest¨¦e en temps utile devant le MEU et le Tribunal du contentieux administratif du Tribunal. La prolongation du PSA et le refus d'accorder une promotion ¨¦taient les deux faces d'une m¨ºme d¨¦cision, avec les m¨ºmes d¨¦lais pour le...
2023-UNAT-1407, Lars Ronved
Mr. Ronved appealed.
The UNAT dismissed the appeal and affirmed the UNDT Judgment.
The UNAT held that the UNDT erred in finding the application not receivable with respect to the refusal of a temporary promotion to the P-4 level.? The contested decision before the UNDT was the decision to extend the SPA, which the Appellant timely challenged before the MEU and the UNDT.? The extension of the SPA and the denial to grant a promotion were two sides of the same decision, with the same time limits for management evaluation.? Therefore, the request for management evaluation of both decisions was...
2023-UNAT-1406, Kamal Karki
L¡¯UNAT a rejet¨¦ la demande d¡¯anonymat de l¡¯appelant car la question soulev¨¦e dans son appel ¨¦tait purement proc¨¦durale et juridictionnelle et ne concernait aucune donn¨¦e personnelle devant ¨ºtre prot¨¦g¨¦e.
L¡¯UNAT a ¨¦galement rejet¨¦ la demande d¡¯audience de l¡¯appelant, estimant que cela n¡¯aiderait pas le Tribunal d¡¯appel ¨¤ r¨¦gler l¡¯affaire de mani¨¨re rapide et ¨¦quitable.
L'UNAT a estim¨¦ que le requ¨¦rant ayant d¨¦pos¨¦ sa requ¨ºte 93 jours apr¨¨s la r¨¦ception de la d¨¦cision administrative contest¨¦e, celle-ci n'¨¦tait pas recevable, sauf renonciation au d¨¦lai par le Tribunal. L¡¯UNAT a observ¨¦ qu¡¯¨¦tant...
2023-UNAT-1406, Kamal Karki
The UNAT denied the Appellant¡¯s request for anonymity as the issue presented in his appeal was purely procedural and jurisdictional and did not involve any personal data which had to be protected.
The UNAT also denied the Appellant¡¯s request for an oral hearing, finding that that it would not assist the Appeals Tribunal in the expeditious and fair disposal of the case.
The UNAT held that because the Appellant filed his application 93 days after the receipt of the contested administrative decision, it was not receivable, absent waiver of the deadline of the UNDT. The UNAT observed that given...
2023-UNAT-1405, Yonas Negasa
L'UNAT a examin¨¦ un appel du Secr¨¦taire g¨¦n¨¦ral.
L'UNAT a estim¨¦ que l'administration de l'examen ¨¦crit sur les affaires de s¨¦curit¨¦ dans la pr¨¦sente affaire n'avait pas respect¨¦ les normes minimales d¨¦taill¨¦es dans Chhikara. L'UNAT a not¨¦ que l'Administration avait d'abord administr¨¦ le test, analys¨¦ les r¨¦sultats, et qu'ensuite seulement elle avait d¨¦cid¨¦ que certaines questions devaient ¨ºtre ¨¦limin¨¦es de l'examen. L'UNAT a estim¨¦ que la suppression inopin¨¦e et ex post de questions de l'examen ¨¦crit, apr¨¨s que celui-ci ait d¨¦j¨¤ ¨¦t¨¦ corrig¨¦, violait ¨¤ premi¨¨re vue l'obligation d'administrer...
2023-UNAT-1405, Yonas Negasa
The UNAT considered an appeal by the Secretary-General.
The UNAT held that the administration of the written security affairs exam in the present case had not met the minimum standards detailed in Chhikara. The UNAT noted that the Administration had first administered the test, analyzed the results, and only then had decided that certain questions should be eliminated from consideration. The UNAT found that the unannounced and ex post deletion of questions from the written examination, after it had already been marked, on its very face violated the obligation to administer the test in a...
2023-UNAT-1404 , Alan George Blythe
L'UNAT a examin¨¦ un appel interjet¨¦ par le fonctionnaire.
L'UNAT a constat¨¦ que le rapport de recommandation ne fournissait aucune explication permettant de comprendre la justification de la d¨¦cision de non-s¨¦lection. L'UNAT a not¨¦ qu'aucune information n'avait ¨¦t¨¦ fournie au cours de la proc¨¦dure judiciaire quant aux raisons pour lesquelles le candidat externe ¨¦tait le candidat le plus appropri¨¦. L'UNAT a estim¨¦ que, dans un souci de raisonnabilit¨¦, d'¨¦quit¨¦ et de transparence, l'Administration ¨¦tait cens¨¦e fournir des raisons pertinentes et v¨¦ritables ¨¤ l'appui de son choix final. L'UNAT a...
2023-UNAT-1404 , Alan George Blythe
The UNAT considered an appeal by the staff member.
The UNAT found that the recommendation report did not provide any explanation to understand the rationale of the non-selection decision. The UNAT noted that no information had been given in the course of the judicial proceedings either as to why the external candidate was the most suitable candidate. The UNAT held that, for the sake of reasonableness, fairness and transparency, it was expected from the Administration to give relevant and true reasons supporting its ultimate choice. The UNAT found that the UNDT had made an error of fact...
2023-UNAT-1403, Francis N. Fultang
L'UNAT a estim¨¦ que l'absence de discussion sur la gestion de l'affaire et d'audience devant le TCNU ne constituait pas une erreur de proc¨¦dure.
Le TANU a estim¨¦ que le Tribunal n'avait pas commis d'erreur en admettant et en examinant le m¨¦morandum d'all¨¦gations de mauvaise conduite, car celui-ci avait ¨¦t¨¦ utilis¨¦ par l'Administration uniquement pour v¨¦rifier que les circonstances justifiant le placement du requ¨¦rant en ALWP existaient.
L'UNAT a ¨¦galement constat¨¦ que le rapport d'enqu¨ºte du BSCI ne faisait pas r¨¦f¨¦rence aux communications entre l'appelant et son conseil, ni aux ¨¦changes au...
2023-UNAT-1403, Francis N. Fultang
The UNAT held that the absence of a case management discussion and an oral hearing before the UNDT was not a procedural error.
The UNAT found that the UNDT did not err in admitting and considering the memorandum of allegations of misconduct, as it was used by the Administration only to verify that circumstances warranting the placement of the Appellant on ALWP occurred. The UNAT also found that the OIOS Investigation Report did not refer to the communications between the Appellant and his counsel, nor to exchanges during a mediation process, but only considered the Appellant¡¯s objective...
2023-UNAT-1392, Monica Ioana Barbulescu
Le Secr¨¦taire g¨¦n¨¦ral a interjet¨¦ appel.
Le Tribunal d'appel a estim¨¦ que le TDNU avait outrepass¨¦ sa comp¨¦tence et commis une erreur de droit en interpr¨¦tant l'article 6(3)(a) du R¨¨glement du personnel comme autorisant Mme Barbulescu, en tant que m¨¨re commanditaire dans le cadre d'une maternit¨¦ de substitution, ¨¤ avoir droit ¨¤ un cong¨¦ de maternit¨¦, contrairement aux dispositions claires et sans ambigu?t¨¦. Statut et R¨¨glement du personnel. Le Tribunal a ¨¦largi la port¨¦e de l'article 6(3) du R¨¨glement du personnel au point de prendre une d¨¦cision politique qui rel¨¨ve de la comp¨¦tence du...
2023-UNAT-1392, Monica Ioana Barbulescu
The Secretary-General filed an appeal.
The Appeals Tribunal found that the UNDT exceeded its jurisdiction and erred in law when it interpreted Staff Rule 6(3)(a) as allowing Ms. Barbulescu as a commissioning mother in a surrogacy to be entitled to maternity leave contrary to the clear and unambiguous Staff Regulations and Rules. The UNDT enlarged the scope of Staff Rule 6(3) to an extent that it made a policy decision which is in the purview of the Secretary-General. Further, the Dispute Tribunal erred in making factual findings without evidence.
The Appeals Tribunal however held that the...
2023-UNAT-1396, Sahar Darweesh Hanjoury
L'UNAT a estim¨¦ que le voyage de la requ¨¦rante n'¨¦tait pas autoris¨¦ en vertu de l'article 7.10 du R¨¨glement du personnel car elle n'avait b¨¦n¨¦fici¨¦ que d'un seul jour de cong¨¦ annuel approuv¨¦ le 24 juin 2021, suivi d'une p¨¦riode de repos et de repos du 12 juillet au 16 juillet 2021. L'UNAT a ¨¦galement conclu que le L'administration a pris les mesures appropri¨¦es en lui envoyant le 25 juillet 2021 un e-mail lui rappelant que tous les membres du personnel international devaient soumettre leur demande de renouvellement de visa soudanais dans les d¨¦lais.
L¡¯UNAT a estim¨¦ que les ¨¦v¨¦nements qui ont...
