Decision Contested or Judgment Appealed

The Applicant serves as an Administrative Assistant at the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) at the FS-5 level. On 8 November 2014, she filed an Application contesting a decision made on 25 April 2014 not to select her for the Temporary Job Opening (TJO) of Contracts Management Assistant at the FS-5 level. The UNDT found that the Application is without merit. The Applicant’s case was premised on her belief that the applicable law governing her selection for the temporary job opening is ST/AI/2010/3. The Tribunal found that the relevant and applicable law in this case is ST/AI/2010/4/Rev.1 which regulates the selection and appointment of staff members for positions established for less than one year.
