		<description>&lt;p align=justify&gt;We went through the UNAT judgments, 33 in all, (http://www.un.org/en/internaljustice/unat/judgments.shtml) that came out of UNAT&#039;s very first Geneva session (15 March – 1 April, 2010), these judgments were just placed on the above website in the last 48 hours.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=justify&gt;Here is a summary of these 33 cases/judgments:
1. Over 30% of the cases in question belong to UNRWA - United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East
2. Over 20% of the cases are related to pension benefits
3. Only 24%  of the judgments are in favor the staff member
4. While 51%  of the judgments are in favor of the organization&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=justify&gt;My general observations:
1. In the pension cases, there is couple of compassionate cases, but the rules are unyielding.
2. Cases of UNRWA – an agency working under difficult socio-political environment for many years – exposes some of the systemic organizational problems. Probably an expert Six Sigma type management analysis, with a competent, but compassionate HR management, would help enhance the quality of their services to the Palestine people and save needless waste of resources. Additionally, more attention to the staff members psychological and psychiatric health, especially under these difficult socio-political 
circumstances, is required and enhance performance and save human and financial resources.
3. Once the organization is willing to learn lessons from such judgments and put in place necessary remedial measures, then the new reformed internal justice system would have made some positive difference to the business-as-usual mindset of the UN Administration.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
