Applicant Pajtic was a Human Resources Officer at the United Nations Human Settlement Programme, #UNHabitat, in Nairobi, and was challenging the decision to impose a post-separation sanction on him. See #UNDT Order No. 153 (NBI/2025) of 9 September 2025 (www.un.org/en/internalj...).
"3. The Tribunal takes note of counsel’s submissions and agrees that withdrawal of these proceedings is the most appropriate way forward under the circumstances." See #UNDT Order No. 16 (NBI/2026) of 16 January 2026 (www.un.org/en/internalj...).
"3. In light of the change of circumstances in this case, the Tribunal DIRECTS counsel for the Applicant to advise the Tribunal, by Monday 26 January 2026, on whether he intends to proceed with this litigation, and if so, how." See #UNDT Order No. 6 (NBI/2026) (www.un.org/en/internalj...).
#InternationalAdministrativeLaw: Death of the Applicant does not automatically lead the extinction of his case. The judicial statement of 16 January 2026 is unfortunate. The next of kin should have been consulted first, preferably by counsel for the Applicant, or by the Tribunal. #UNDT #UN_OAJ
