UNDT/2011/019, Odio-Benito
Noting that both the Dispute Tribunal and the Appeals Tribunal had repeatedly emphasized the need to observe time limits, the Tribunal rejected the application as time-barred, without ruling on the admissibility ratione personae of it.
On 6 December 2010, the Applicant, a former judge of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (“ICTY”) currently serving as a judge at the International Criminal Court (“ICC”), filed with the United Nations Dispute Tribunal an application against the decision to suspend the payment of her ICTY pension as long as she would be serving with ICC. She had received the response to her request for management evaluation more than 12 months earlier, on 31 July 2009. In her submissions before the Tribunal, and although she was granted leave to file a rejoinder on the Respondent’s reply, the Applicant did not even attempt to explain the reasons for the delay.
