UNDT/2016/006, Keegan

UNAT Held or UNDT Pronouncements

Receivability: The Tribunal observed that the Applicant had the option of lodging a formal complaint of gender discrimination under ST/SGB/2008/5 but chose not to. However this does not prevent her from alleging, as she does, that the classification decision which she is challenging was ill-motivated by reason of gender discrimination. The Tribunal concluded that in determining whether the decision to abolish her post was ill-motivated it is competent to examine each of the Applicant’s allegations against the relevant facts and circumstances.

Decision Contested or Judgment Appealed

The Applicant challenged the decision by MONUSCO to abolish her post and separate her from service.
