Decisions of the administrative tribunals of the United Nations and related intergovernmental organizations

By resolution 61/261 of 4 April 2007, entitled “Administration of Justice at the United Nations”, the General Assembly agreed that the new formal system of administration of justice should comprise two tiers, consisting of a first instance, the United Nations Dispute Tribunal, and an appellate instance, the United Nations Appeals Tribunal, rendering binding decisions and ordering appropriate remedies. It further decided that a decentralized United Nations Dispute Tribunal shall replace existing advisory bodies within the current system of administration of justice, including the joint appeals boards, joint disciplinary committees and other bodies as appropriate.
