UNITED NATIONS ADMINISTRATIVE TRIBUNAL

The United Nations Administrative Tribunal Statute and Rules established the Tribunal to hear and pass judgement upon applications alleging non-observance of a staff member's contract or terms of appointment.

An application is receivable before the Administrative Tribunal (AT) once the person concerned has taken the case to a joint appeals body that has communicated its opinion to the Secretary-General, or in a case where the Secretary-General and the staff member concerned agree to submit applications directly to the Administrative Tribunal.

Article 7 of the Statute of the AT provides information on time limits for submissions to the AT.

In Chapter III, Article 7, and Annex I of the Rules of the AT (procedures) there are detailed instructions on the information necessary to submit an application. A sample outline of an Administrative Tribunal application is provided for guidance.
