UNDT/2017/005, Ahmed

UNAT Held or UNDT Pronouncements

The Tribunal noted that the jurisdiction of the Tribunal can only be exercised if the contested administrative decision has previously been submitted for management evaluation, where required, and it is not open to the Tribunal to waive this requirement or make any exception to it. As a consequence, in the absence of a management evaluation, the Tribunal rejected the application as not receivable.

Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed

The Applicant challenged the decision not to select him for the position of supply officer at the P-3 level in the United Nations Mission in the Republic of South Sudan (UNMISS) in Juba, South Sudan. The Applicant did not submit a request for management evaluation of the contested decision. Therefore, the Tribunal concluded that the application was not receivable.
