66 of travel. Original documents (not photocopies or scans) of the claims, boarding passes, receipts, etc. proving travel and length of stay are required for audit purposes. Accordingly, without complete supporting documentation, the claim will not be processed. No further travel advances will be paid to a traveller who has failed to submit the necessary completed claim for a prior travel. 25. Travel claims are reviewed by OHCHR but settled by UNOG.
