A grievance must be made by a petition in three copies deposited by the grievant with the Committee Secretariat within 45 days from notification of, or actual knowledge of, the decision challenged, or from expiry of the period prescribed for deciding the objection without a decision having been issued. The petition must state the grievant's particulars, the subject and grounds of the grievance, and the relief sought. No new relief may be sought unless it was previously requested in the objection submitted to the Authority. The petition must be drawn up in Arabic, signed by the grievant or an authorised representative, and accompanied by certified copies of all papers and documents supporting the grievance.
Interpretation and application must be checked against the official Arabic text and the current version.
