Consideration 2

Extract:

The complainant objected to the content of her performance appraisal and requested so-called conciliation proceedings under Section 331 of Annex E to the FAO Manual. The Tribunal holds that "the process of conciliation was not properly followed: if it had been, allegations of unsatisfactory conduct would have been distinguished from allegations of unsatisfactory service. That is a distinction that the Tribunal drew in an earlier case against the FAO [...]: see Judgment 247, under 12 and 13."
