The Assistant Secretary-General for Human Resources Management and the CRB correctly determined that it cannot be in the interest of the Organization nor of its operational activities to grant permanent appointments under the circumstances in force. UNDT rejected the Application to rescind the decision of the Respondent not to grant the him a permanent appointment. There was no indication that the ICTR was afforded delegation of authority to convert a staff member to a permanent appointment; Section 3.3 of SGB/2009/10 only gives power to the responsible officer of Human Resources at a duty station to recommend a sstaff member for permanent appointment. This recommendation has to be approved by the Assistant Secretary-General for Human Resources Management, which approval can then be reviewed by the CRB. UNDT held that this procedure was correctly applied in this case. The recommendation made by the CRB was properly acted upon by the Respondent and the necessary elements of the conversion process were correctly adered to. It was also appropriate for the CRB to recommend that the Office of Human Resources Management and the Administration of both the ad hoc Tribunals continue their joint efforts to place the staff of these two Tribunals within other offices of the Secretariat offices using established procedures. UNDT dismissed the Application.
