Item 3005.6 now stipulates that “where there is reason to believe that a staff member has engaged in misconduct for which a disciplinary measure may be imposed, the immediate supervisor of the staff member concerned shall immediately report the matter to the Director HRM through the ADG of the sector or through the director of the bureau, office or established office away from Headquarters, or directly to the Director HRM if the circumstances of the case require immediate action”.

The Manual also ensures due process, fairness and equity in the process of making decisions in cases of misconduct subject to disciplinary procedure and disciplinary measures, as well as informed advice to the Director-General with appropriate staff participation in taking decisions in disciplinary matters.

Considerable additional efforts are required to establish a system within which misconduct of this kind is systematically reported on and effectively followed up, while safeguarding the rights of the victims.

The Manual also introduces as misconduct subject to disciplinary measures, the nonobservance by malice or by culpable negligence of any regulation, rule or administrative procedure of the Organization involving the Organization in unnecessary liability, expense or loss.
