L'UNAT a noté que plusieurs mois après le décès du participant au Fonds, l'appelant avait produit des formulaires Pens.A/2 visant à modifier la désignation du bénéficiaire du règlement résiduel, signés d'une empreinte digitale et non de la signature du participant. L'UNAT a également pris note des preuves médicales attestant des signes de démence du participant.
L'UNAT a estimé que l'appelant n'avait fourni aucune preuve à l'appui de son affirmation selon laquelle les capacités mentales du participant s'étaient améliorées au moment où il avait apposé son empreinte digitale sur les formulaires...
2025-UNAT-1519, Fernando Salon
L'UNAT a rejeté l'argument de M. Salon selon lequel le jugement antérieur de l'UNAT avait rendu des conclusions erronées concernant les dates auxquelles il avait présenté ses demandes d'évaluation de la gestion ou déposé ses plaintes. L'UNAT a estimé que M. Salon ne cherchait pas à obtenir des éclaircissements sur le jugement de l'UNAT, mais tentait plutôt de relancer le procès, ce qui ne constitue pas une utilisation appropriée des dispositions du Statut de l'UNAT relatives aux demandes d'interprétation.
L'UNAT a estimé que son jugement ne présentait aucune ambiguïté et que la demande d...

L'UNAT a estimé que le DT de l'UNRWA n'avait pas commis d'erreur en concluant qu'il existait des preuves claires et convaincantes permettant d'étayer le fait que la requérante avait abusé de son autorité en intimidant un membre du personnel afin qu'il dépose une fausse plainte pour harcèlement sexuel contre un autre membre du personnel. Le DT de l'UNRWA a examiné les témoignages contradictoires et évalué la crédibilité des témoins, avant de conclure que la requérante avait un motif pour solliciter le dépôt de cette fausse plainte.
L'UNAT a estimé que le DT de l'UNRWA n'avait pas commis d'erreur...

The UNAT noted that the vacancy had been advertised for only ten days which violated the mandatory requirement of the UNRWA Personnel Directive, and this violation had been corrected by cancelling the recruitment process and constituting another one that met the requirement of the minimum posting period.
The UNAT held that the staff member had not identified the alleged defects of the impugned Judgment but rather had reargued his case and, therefore, had not discharged his burden of satisfying the Appeals Tribunal that the impugned Judgment had been in error.
The UNAT was of the view that, in...

Le TFP a estimé que, puisque l'indemnité compensatoire a pour but de replacer un fonctionnaire dans la situation qui aurait été la sienne si l'Organisation avait respecté ses obligations contractuelles, le traitement de base net à verser conformément à l'arrêt du TFP était le traitement de base net que l'ancien fonctionnaire aurait perçu à la date de la décision contestée et de la cessation de ses fonctions, à savoir le 20 mai 2021. Par conséquent, le TFP a conclu que le calcul du Secrétaire général, qui avait retenu deux ans de salaire de base net, était approprié.
Le TFP a en outre estimé que...

The UNAT noted that months after the death of the participant in the Fund, the Appellant had produced Pens.A/2 forms purporting to change the designation of the beneficiary of the residual settlement, executed by a thumbprint and not the participant’s signature. The UNAT also noted the medical evidence of signs of the participant’s dementia.
The UNAT found that the Appellant had provided no evidence to support the contention that the participant’s mental capacity had improved by the time of thumbprinting the later forms. The UNAT held that the Fund had not erred when it found those forms...

The UNAT held that, since the purpose of compensation in lieu is to place a staff member in the same position he or she would have been had the Organization complied with its contractual obligations, the net base salary to be paid in accordance with the UNAT Judgment was the net base salary that the former staff member would have earned at the date of the contested decision and his separation from service, namely 20 May 2021. Therefore, the UNAT concluded that the Secretary-General’s calculation of two years’ net base salary was appropriate.
The UNAT further held that the deductions made for...

2025-UNAT-1519, Fernando Salon
The UNAT rejected Mr. Salon’s argument that the prior UNAT Judgment made incorrect findings of fact regarding the dates that he made requests for management evaluation or filed complaints. The UNAT held that Mr. Salon was not seeking clarification of the UNAT Judgment but was rather attempting to relitigate his case, which is not an appropriate use of the UNAT Statute’s provisions for an application for interpretation.
The UNAT found that there was no ambiguity in its Judgment and there was no basis for the application for interpretation. The meaning and scope of the UNAT Judgment was clear...

The UNAT held that the UNRWA DT did not err in finding that there was clear and convincing evidence to support that the applicant had engaged in abuse of authority by intimidating a staff member to file a false complaint of sexual harassment against another staff member. The UNRWA DT weighed the conflicting testimonies and assessed the credibility of the witnesses and found that she had a motive to solicit the false complaint.
The UNAT held that the UNRWA DT did not err in declining to review the other misconduct allegations against her, given that the abuse of authority allegation was the...
