The current version of the Staff Regulations and Rules is ST/SGB/2023/1/Rev.1 (1 January 2023) as amended by the General Assembly in its resolution 78/275 of 24 April 2024.
The Staff Regulations and Staff Rules apply to the Secretariat and the funds and programmes with the exception of the World Food Programme, to which the Regulations and Rules of the Food and Agriculture Programme apply. Secretariat administrative issuances (ST/SGBs and ST/AIs) implementing the Staff Regulations and Staff Rules only apply to the Secretariat, as each organization using the Staff Regulations and Staff Rules of the United Nations issues its own policies on the implementation of the Regulations and Rules.
Authority
Staff regulations set out the broad principles of human resources policy for the staffing of and administration of the Secretariat and the separately-administered funds and programmes, and are established by the General Assembly under Article 101.1 of the United Nations Charter, which states:
The staff shall be appointed by the Secretary-General under regulations established by the General Assembly.
Staff rules are issued by the Secretary-General under Staff Regulations 12.2 through 12.4. These are provisional until after they have been reported to the General Assembly.[1] The General Assembly may direct that a rule or amendment be withdrawn or modified.[2] The rules enter into full force, after taking into account the modifications and/or deletions directed by the General Assembly, on 1 January of the year after the provisional rules were reported to the General Assembly.[3]
