The UN's capacity as an administrative decision-maker that affects
the rights of individuals is a largely overlooked aspect of its
role in international affairs. Administrative Justice in the UN
explores the potential for a model of administrative justice that
might act as a benchmark to which global decision-makers could
develop procedural standards. Niamh Kinchin adeptly explores
accountability in the context of decision-making within the UN and
examines whether its administrative decisions, affecting the rights
and obligations of individuals and groups, contain sufficient
procedural protections. It is suggested that 'global administrative
justice' requires two fundamental elements; administrative
decisions made according to law, and to values communities accept
as just, which are identified as rationality, fairness,
transparency and participation. This model is applied to the UN's
Investigations Divisions of the Office of Internal Oversight
Services, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, the UN Security
Council and the Internal Formal Justice System in order to measure
procedural protections, identify gaps and make recommendations for
reform. This insightful book will be vital reading for academics
and students of human rights, constitutional, public international,
and administrative law. UN-affiliated personnel, as well as those
involved in diplomatic departments, will find this book an engaging
read.
