THE UNITED NATIONS’NEW SYSTEM FOR SETTLEMENT THE DISPUTES BETWEEN ORGANIZATION AND ITS EMPLOYEES

In accordance with the Resolution of the UN General Assembly A/RES/61/261 in 30 April 2007 within the United Nations was established a new system in order to settle the internal disputes and disciplinary matters between Organization and its employees designed to meet the current needs of the Organization and which became operational on 1 July 2009. The establishment of this system was based on the conclusions of several reports of the UN Secretary - General, of the Panel on the Redesign of the UN system of administration of justice, of the Advisory Committee on Administrative and Budgetary Questions what pointed out that the old system of administration of justice at UN became a slow, heavy, ineffective and lacking professionalism and that the system of administrative review has no longer corresponded to current needs of this important international Organization. Given these considerations and based on the premise that a transparent, impartial, independent and efficient system of administration of justice is essential for each of the employees of the Organization to be guaranteed a fair and equitable treatment in the performance of professional duties and taking into account the need to reform the management of human resources at the UN, the Organization has decided to establish a new, independent, transparent, professionalized, adequately resourced and decentralized system of administration of justice who comply the rules of International Law and the right to a fair trial and to ensure the implementation of rights and obligations of the employees but also to establish the liability for their actions. Taking into account those mentioned above this study goals are to present the organization and functioning of this new system for settlement disputes between UN staff and administration and to make a brief comparative analysis with the old system.
