Judge Tibulya
Le tribunal a jug¨¦ que l'annexe 18 ¨¤ la demande ¨¦tait inadmissible. Selon le demandeur, l'annexe comprenait un commentaire et une analyse publique de l'affaire. Le tribunal a constat¨¦ que ce commentaire n¡¯a aucune valeur, ¨¦vident ou autre, ¨¦tant que celui qui a compil¨¦ n¡¯¨¦tait pas soumis ¨¤ la juridiction du tribunal. Cela ¨¦tant le cas, la v¨¦racit¨¦ des commentaires n'¨¦tait pas et n'a pas pu ¨ºtre test¨¦e. Le commentaire n¡¯¨¦tait ni preuve ni aux soumissions des parties. Sur la base des preuves incontr?l¨¦es que le demandeur a refus¨¦ de participer ¨¤ un entretien de suivi pour fournir des...

Le demandeur a constamment admis que l'altercation verbale et physique avait eu lieu et qu'il avait endommag¨¦ le parapluie de l'officier. Il n'a contest¨¦ que le processus d'enqu¨ºte qu'il a maintenu ¨¦tait biais¨¦ et injuste car il n'a pas pris en compte le contexte de l'interaction. Il s'est ¨¦galement plaint que les aspects les plus pertinents de l'affaire qui ont ¨¦t¨¦ pris en vid¨¦o ne lui ¨¦taient jamais fournis et qu'il ne leur a donc pas parl¨¦ dans le contexte de l'enqu¨ºte. ?tant donn¨¦ que le demandeur n'a pas ni¨¦ qu'il ait ¨¦t¨¦ impliqu¨¦ dans une altercation verbale et physique avec un officier...
Le superviseur du requ¨¦rant n'a pas particip¨¦ au processus de s¨¦lection des quatre postes repr¨¦sentatifs en Ouzb¨¦kistan, en Ukraine, en Bolivie et au Nig¨¦ria, et pour la position du sexe en chef et des droits de l'homme. La participation du superviseur du demandeur au processus de s¨¦lection de la position de la Palestine n'a pas affect¨¦ l'int¨¦grit¨¦ du processus de s¨¦lection. Le requ¨¦rant a re?u une contrepartie compl¨¨te et ¨¦quitable. Le fait que l'exercice de rotation et les d¨¦cisions de s¨¦lection pour les positions en Ouzb¨¦kistan, en Ukraine, au Nig¨¦ria et en Palestine et la d¨¦termination et...
Il y avait des preuves claires et convaincantes que le demandeur a utilis¨¦ sa position d'autorit¨¦ pour influencer ind?ment l'emploi continu de FM ¨¤ Gitts, Minusca. Le fait que le demandeur n'ait pas divulgu¨¦ un conflit d'int¨¦r¨ºts r¨¦sultant de sa relation sexuelle avec FM et de sa participation continue ¨¤ son recrutement ¨¤ Gitts, Minusca a ¨¦t¨¦ prouv¨¦e par des preuves claires et convaincantes. Le demandeur a envoy¨¦ des questions d'entrevue au plaignant, et il y avait des preuves claires et convaincantes que le demandeur a utilis¨¦ sa position d'autorit¨¦ en tant que chef de Gitts, Minusca, pour...
Les faits ¨¦tablis ont ¨¦t¨¦ qualifi¨¦s de faute en vertu des r¨¨glements et r¨¨gles du personnel. Il y avait des preuves que la totalit¨¦ des circonstances, notamment des facteurs att¨¦nuants tels que le long service du demandeur aupr¨¨s de l'organisation et son admission, bien qu'apr¨¨s la d¨¦couverte de sa fraude par l'organisation, ont ¨¦t¨¦ examin¨¦s conform¨¦ment aux principes d¨¦finis. Il y avait une base pour l'affirmation selon laquelle la pratique du Secr¨¦taire g¨¦n¨¦ral en mati¨¨re disciplinaire montre que les mesures ¨¤ l'extr¨¦mit¨¦ plus stricte du spectre ont normalement ¨¦t¨¦ impos¨¦es par l...
L'argument de l'intim¨¦ selon lequel le demandeur n'a pas demand¨¦ d'¨¦valuation de la direction de la d¨¦cision contest¨¦e dans les 60 jours a ¨¦t¨¦ enracin¨¦e dans la conviction erron¨¦e que le protocole d'accord, qui d¨¦clare express¨¦ment qu'elle constituait un avis que la nomination du demandeur ne serait pas renouvel¨¦e au-del¨¤ du 29 f¨¦vrier 2020 et qu'elle serait s¨¦par¨¦ en cons¨¦quence, li¨¦ au droit g¨¦n¨¦ral des demandeurs d'¨ºtre r¨¦absorb¨¦ en moins. Le droit ¨¤ un privil¨¨ge g¨¦n¨¦ral est intrins¨¨que ¨¤ un d¨¦tachement, ce qui signifie qu'il est inali¨¦nable et que le demandeur n'aurait donc pas pu s'en...
Le tribunal a constat¨¦ qu'il y avait des preuves claires et convaincantes que le demandeur avait commis l'inconduite se plaignait et que les faits ¨¦tablis consid¨¦raient comme faute en vertu des r¨¨glements et r¨¨gles du personnel, en outre, la sanction ¨¦tait proportionn¨¦e ¨¤ l'infraction et ¨¦tait donc l¨¦gale. Le Tribunal a ¨¦galement constat¨¦ qu'il n'y avait pas de violations de la proc¨¦dure r¨¦guli¨¨re dans l'enqu¨ºte et dans le processus disciplinaire menant ¨¤ la sanction disciplinaire contre le demandeur. Le degr¨¦ de sensibilit¨¦ de l'inconduite pr¨¦sum¨¦e ne constituait pas une circonstance...
La d¨¦cision contest¨¦e est n¨¦e d'un accord sign¨¦ le 21 avril 2020 entre le demandeur et l'UNICEF pour r¨¦silier sa nomination. Si la requ¨¦rante avait souhait¨¦ contester les circonstances de son accord de licenciement, elle aurait d? demander l'¨¦valuation de la direction d'ici le 20 juin 2020. Elle a toutefois soumis sa demande le 18 janvier 2021, pr¨¨s de sept mois plus tard et en dehors de la p¨¦riode de 60 jours. La demande d'¨¦valuation de la gestion a ¨¦t¨¦ barr¨¦e dans le temps et donc la demande n'¨¦tait pas ¨¤ recevoir.
The Tribunal ruled that the assertion that the Applicant was entitled to automatic appointment since he had a continuous appointment and was on the roster for Senior Transport Officer, P-5 was without basis.

The Applicant consistently admitted that the verbal and physical altercation took place and that he damaged the officer¡¯s umbrella. He only challenged the investigation process which he maintained was biased and unfair since it didn¡¯t consider the context of the interaction. He also complained that the most pertinent aspects of the case which were caught on video were never provided to him and he therefore didn¡¯t speak to them in the context of the investigation. Since the Applicant did not deny that he was involved in a verbal and physical altercation with a Kenyan police officer and that he...
