The UNAT is the final appellate court in employment-related disputes involving the staff of the UN and most other international agencies.

It convenes three times a year, principally in New York but also in Geneva and Nairobi.

Graeme, who will continue his local practice as a barrister and employment law specialist, is the first New Zealander to be elected to the UNAT.
