The reform of the United Nation's system of administration of justice initiated by the works of the Redesign Panel and the Secretary-General's reflections has resulted in a complete overhaul of the existing mechanisms. The informal system is consolidated by the strengthening of the functions conferred on the Office of the Ombudsman, particularly with respect to mediation. As for the formal system, it is now characterized by a two-tier arrangement where the new Appeals Tribunal is destined to exercise, with certain increased powers, the functions hitherto conferred on the United Nations' Administrative Tribunal. Important questions, particularly about the scope of jurisdiction ratione personae of the system, remain unanswered with the result that the true magnitude of the reform remains uncertain as yet.
