UNDT/2020/099, Qassem

UNAT Held or UNDT Pronouncements

The Respondent repeatedly told the Applicant in writing from July 2018 to May 2019 that there was no change in his functions, and he was to perform the same duties that had always been assigned in Ramallah. The Respondent’s many reiterations, up to May 2019, of the position made clear since September 2018 did not give rise to a new challengeable decision so as to bring forward the time within which a request for management evaluation could be made.; In accordance with staff rule 11.2(c) it was incumbent on the Applicant to challenge, in a timely manner, the underlying decision and any alleged effects it had on him.

Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed

The Applicant challenged the Respondent’s “(1) decision to effectively strip him of the majority of his functions and duties, (2) the decision to move him from his duty station in Jerusalem to Ramallah, (3) the Administration’s failure to implement the decision dated 18 September 2018 regarding the outcome of the restructuring process”.
