UNJustice message
|
|
At a time when the United Nations is playing a decisive role in
coping with world problems which affect the lives of millions of
people,
fair play
-
a combination of observance of the rules,
respect for the
defenceless,
and
prevention of adverse behaviour -
is
the
condition under which human
cooperation
becomes
both possible and necessary.
With a view to this,
to
help these essential features
cross
the
arbitrary and artificial barriers
to realize the UN's potential as a
positive force in the world,
UNJustice
devotes
itself to
no other
task with more dedication than to the very task it got its name
from:
encouraging
fair play in the United Nations system of administration of
justice.

UN female
staffer's complaints of
sex assault and hostile work environment: an update
16 December 2011
UNJustice has been
informed that a UN panel has completed its investigation into
the allegations that a manager has sexually assaulted a female
staffer and that a number of officials have reportedly engaged
in a pattern of marginalization and discrimination against the
complainant since she reported the sexual assault.
The investigative
report will be submitted to the UN Assistant Secretary-General
for Human Resources Management for a decision this week.
According to the
internal rules of the Organization, the consideration of a
complaint should be completed and a reply issued within three
months after receipt of the complaint. The woman lodged the
complaint on 22 September 2011.
