UNDT/2010/142 | SYSTEM OF ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE

UNDT/2010/142, Roberts

UNAT Held or UNDT Pronouncements

Pursuant to articles 2.1 and 3.1 of the Statute of the UNDT, the status of staff member is a necessary condition for access to the Tribunal. This is in line with the General Assembly’s resolution 63/253 which intentionally limited the Tribunal’s jurisdiction. In this case, the application is not receivable ratione personae since the applicant never became a staff member.

Decision Contested or Judgment Appealed

The applicant worked under a “Personnel Service Agreement” (PSA) contract for the United Nations University (UNU). She contests the nature of her appointment and claims benefits which PSA contract holders normally are not entitled to.
