Statement of the Problem
Internal justice system handled within the DOM, the same Dept. that makes
decisions on HR and disciplinary matters.
A peer-review system, where staff volunteered to serve on the Joint AppealsBoards (JABs) and Joint Disciplinary Committees (JDCs).which the Secretary-General could agree or not agree.
Staff could appeal the Secretary-General's decision to the AdministrativeTribunal.
The Secretary-General could only impose a disciplinary measure after arecommendation from a JDC (except in cases of summary dismissal).
Judges of the UN Administrative Tribunal were nominated by Member Statesand elected by the General Assembly without any screening or selectionprocess.
An Ombudsman Office to assist staff address their work-relatedconcerns/conflicts through informal means.
The first step for a staff member wishing to formally contest a decision was arequest for administrative review, conducted by OHRM.

Challenges of the old system
1. The administrative review was criticized astaking very long and not providing any "addedvalue".
2. The Ombudsman's Office had staff only at NY
Headquarters.3. There were no established links between the
informal and the formal system.
4. Legal assistance to staff was provided by
volunteers through the Panel of Counsel.5. The system was mostly Headquarters-based,
with the exception of a JAB/JDC in Geneva,Vienna and Nairobi.
