informed the Applicant that her request for administrative review of a decision taken on 31 December 1986, was time-barred under staff rule 111.2(a). He also stated that the Applicant's employment prospects with UNICEF had always been made clear to her. Although UNICEF had no obligation to employ the Applicant following expiration of her fixed-term appointment with the International Year of the Child Secretariat, UNICEF had hired her as a consultant, which had been to the Applicant's benefit. On 15 September 1987, the Applicant lodged an appeal with the Joint Appeals Board. The Board adopted its report on 26 May 1988. Its conclusions and recommendation read as follows: "Conclusions and Recommendation 40.The Panel decides to waive the time-limits for the filing of an appeal in the present case. 41.The Panel concludes that the decision not to renew the appellant's contract was not in breach of established jurisprudence of the United Nations Tribunal in that the appellant could not have had a reasonable expectancy of continued employment.- 7 - 42.The Panel also concludes that, although the succession of SSAs approved by the UNICEF administration was irregular, it did not constitute unfair treatment of the appellant . 43.The Panel trusts that UNICEF view any subsequent application for employment in the context of the consider- ations outlined in the previous section. 44.The Panel makes no further recommendation in support of the appeal." On 1 June 1988, the Under-Secretary-General for Administration and Management informed the Applicant that the Secretary-General, having re-examined her case in the light of the Board's report, had decided to maintain the contested decision and to take no further action on her case. The Applicant was also informed that should she wish to apply for a suitable post, her application would be fairly and objectively considered within the established procedures.
