UNDT/2012/021, Charles

UNAT Held or UNDT Pronouncements

The Tribunal notes that the Applicant has not submitted any evidence to support his claim that the Respondent was biased towards him and nothing in the case record suggests otherwise. His contention therefore fails.

Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed

The Applicant’s non-selection for a post.

Legal Principle(s)

The role of the Tribunal is limited to determine whether an applicant received full and fair consideration of her/his candidature and not to enter into a substantive analysis of her/his application. ; When a staff member alleges discrimination, he or she bears the burden of proving on a preponderance of evidence that discrimination occurred.
