Due process
Jurisdiction / receivability (UNAT)

United Nations Joint Staff Pension Fund (UNJSPF)
Standing Committee of UNJSPB (Ãå±±½ûµØJoint Staff Pension Board)
UNAT held that the decision of the UNJSPB not to submit the staff member’s appeal to the Standing Committee contravened his rights under the UNJSPF Regulations by depriving him of access to the appeals process and was a serious violation of his due process rights. Noting that UNAT’s jurisdiction was limited to hearing appeals of decisions of the Standing Committee and that the staff member’s case had not been reviewed by the Standing Committee, UNAT held that it had no jurisdiction to hear the appeal and remanded it to the Standing Committee.
