United Nations Administrative Tribunal
- United Nations Administrative Tribunal
The United Nations Administrative Tribunal (UNAT) was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1950 to be the final arbiter over alleged non-observance of contracts of employment and other binding regulations of all staff working in the United Nations Secretariat.[UN document |docid=A-RES-351(IV) |type=Resolution| body=General Assembly |accessdate=2007-09-28|date=24 November 1949] ]Rationale
Because the United Nations is not subject to the jurisdiction of any state, it has its own internal justice mechanisms for administering civil justice, such as in the domains of entitlements and benefits for staff, other contract issues, disciplinary proceedings, etc. In order to ensure the independence of this organ, it is composed not by officials of the Organization, but by judges appointed by the Member States of the United Nations through the United Nations General Assembly, from which UNAT derives its mandate.
