Abstract

In order to address the situation where United Nations staff are unable to seek judicial remedies for rights violations in the workplace, the United Nations has established a new internal justice system dedicated to creating a fair and just work environment for staff. The Dispute Tribunal and the Appeals Tribunal, as two-level courts within the internal judicial system, provide formal judicial remedies for employees. However, with the increase in the number and types of cases, the court has exposed defects in its operation, such as narrow jurisdiction, unclear legal application, and insufficient judges to meet the needs of the case. Looking ahead to the future of the court, it is necessary to appropriately relax its jurisdiction, clarify the application of laws, increase the number of part-time judges, further improve the court's operating mechanism, and provide timely and effective judicial remedies for all employees.
