UNAT Held or UNDT Pronouncements

UNAT rejected the request for an oral hearing. UNAT held that there was no merit in the Appellant’s claim that he should be considered a UN staff member because he worked with UNOPS for over three years. UNAT concluded that UNDT correctly decided that the application was not receivable ratione personae. UNAT dismissed the appeal and affirmed the UNDT judgment.

Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed

The Applicant contested the incorrect labelling of his duties during an investigation conducted by the UNOPS Internal Audit and Investigation Group (IAIG) in Morocco. UNDT rendered its judgment striking the application out as non-receivable ratione personae since the Applicant was a contractor.

Legal Principle(s)

Applications presented by contractors are not receivable ratione personae.
