UNAT Held or UNDT Pronouncements

Request for management evaluation: The Tribunal noted that there was no indication that the Applicant had submitted a request to any entity or individual, including the Secretary-General, mandated to receive management evaluation requests as he did not provide any address, physical or electronic, of these entities or individuals. Nor did the Applicant provide any acknowledgment of receipt of any request for management evaluation by the Administration. The Tribunal subsequently held that the Applicant failed to provide evidence that he had indeed submitted a request for management evaluation of the contested administrative decision to either the Secretary-General or the Administrator of UNDP as required by article 8.1(c) of the UNDT Statute and staff rule 11.2(a).

Decision Contested or Judgment Appealed
