Considerations 5-6
Extract:
The ICCO submits that as relations between the parties began and ended before the ICCO had recognized the Tribunal’s jurisdiction, the Tribunal is not competent to hear this case. It is noteworthy that it was on 20 August 2019 that the Executive Director of the ICCO sent a request for recognition of the jurisdiction of the Tribunal to the Director-General of the International Labour Office. At its 337th Session, the ILO’s Governing Body approved that recognition with effect from 30 October 2019.
Under Article II, paragraph 5, of its Statute, the Tribunal may hear a complaint only when the international organization concerned has addressed a declaration recognizing the Tribunal’s jurisdiction to the ILO’s Director-General and that declaration has been approved by the ILO’s Governing Body. Inasmuch as the ICCO had recognized the Tribunal’s jurisdiction at the time when the complainant filed his complaint on 10 December 2019, the Tribunal is competent to hear it pursuant to Article II, paragraph 5, of the Tribunal’s Statute.
