Consideration 8

Extract:

"Consistent precedents hold that inasmuch as the right to an internal appeal is a safeguard enjoyed by international civil servants, the ultimate decision-maker cannot depart from the conclusions and recommendations of the internal appeal body without giving adequate reasons for her or his decision (see Judgments 2699, under 24, 2833, under 4, 3208, under 11, and 3361, under 14)."

Consideration 9

Extract:

"[T]he Tribunal held in Judgment 3080, under 25, that the provision of Article VII, paragraph 1, of the Tribunal’s Statute, which requires all internal means of redress to be exhausted, does not apply to a claim for compensation for moral injury. The Tribunal restates that moral damages constitute a claim for consequential relief which the Tribunal has the power to grant in all circumstances."
