UNAT Held or UNDT Pronouncements

Decision Contested or Judgment Appealed

The placement of a note on the Applicant’s official status file.

Legal Principle(s)

The jurisdiction of the Dispute Tribunal can only be invoked if the contested administrative decision has previously been submitted for management evaluation (UNDT Statute, art. 8.1(c)). A staff member wishing to formally contest an administrative decision is required to submit a written request for management evaluation to the Secretary-General (staff rule 11.2(a)). The Tribunal cannot waive this requirement or make any exception to it.
