UNDT/2016/006, Keegan

UNAT Held or UNDT Pronouncements

Receivability: The Tribunal observed that the Applicant had the option of lodging a formal complaint of gender discrimination under ST/SGB/2008/5 but chose not to. However this does not prevent her from alleging, as she does, that the classification decision which she is challenging was ill-motivated by reason of gender discrimination. The Tribunal concluded that in determining whether the decision to abolish her post was ill-motivated it is competent to examine each of the Applicant’s allegations against the relevant facts and circumstances.

Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed

The Applicant challenged the decision by MONUSCO to abolish her post and separate her from service.
