Office of Staff Legal Assistance
- Office of Staff Legal Assistance
-
The Office of Staff Legal Assistance (OSLA) was established on 1 July 2009 so that staff members of the United Nations who wish to appeal an administrative decision, or who are subject to disciplinary action, have access to legal advice and representation. The Office of Staff Legal Assistance is staffed by full-time legal officers at UN Headquarters in New York, as well as in Geneva, Nairobi, Addis Ababa and Beirut.
It is also expected that, similar to what was the practice under the Panel of Counsel, the Office of Staff Legal Assistance will rely on staff members or former staff members with legal experience to volunteer their services so as to augment the capacity of the Office.
