  • Judgment 844


    63rd session, 1987
    International Atomic Energy Agency
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    CONSIDERATION 26

    Extract:

    "THE FAILURE OF THE COMPLAINANT TO FIND ANOTHER POSITION WITHIN THE AGENCY CANNOT FORM THE BASIS OF A CLAIM SINCE STAFF RULE 3.03.2[D] PROVIDES THAT A FIXED-TERM APPOINTMENT DOES NOT CARRY ANY EXPECTATION OF RENEWAL OR OF CONVERSION TO ANY OTHER TYPE OF APPOINTMENT. THERE IS NOTHING TO SUBSTANTIATE HIS ALLEGATION THAT HIS ATTEMPTS TO FIND OTHER EMPLOYMENT WITHIN THE AGENCY WERE THWARTED BY THE HEAD OF HIS SECTION."

    CONSIDERATION 23

    Extract:

    "IN RECRUITING AN EMPLOYEE WHO WOULD BE EXPECTED TO ACQUIRE SKILLS WHICH WERE NOT NECESSARILY AN EXTENSION OF SKILLS HE ALREADY POSSESSED BUT REQUIRED A DIFFERENT DISCIPLINE ALTOGETHER, THE AGENCY SHOULD HAVE MADE IT QUITE CLEAR TO THE APPLICANT EXACTLY WHAT WAS INVOLVED SO THAT HE COULD JUDGE WHETHER OR NOT HE POSSESSED THE ABILITY TO ACQUIRE, RETAIN AND APPLY THE NEW SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE."

    assignment; difference; duty to inform; organisation's duties; post description;

    CONSIDERATION 27

    Extract:

    "IN REACHING HIS DECISION OF 11 FEBRUARY 1987 THE DIRECTOR-GENERAL FAILED TO TAKE AN ESSENTIAL FACT INTO CONSIDERATION, NAMELY THE DEGREE OF THE AGENCY'S OWN RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE LACK OF INFORMATION SUPPLIED INITIALLY TO THE COMPLAINANT. WHILE THE PARAMOUNT CONSIDERATION IN MAKING OR RENEWING APPOINTMENTS IS TO SECURE EMPLOYEES OF THE HIGHEST STANDARD, IT IS NOT THE ONLY ONE. THE PRINCIPLE OF GOOD FAITH REQUIRES THAT EMPLOYEES BE TREATED WITH DUE REGARD FOR THEIR RIGHTS. IF THE DIRECTOR-GENERAL HAD CONSIDERED THE APPLICATION IN THE LIGHT OF THE ORGANISATION'S OWN RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE COMPLAINANT'S DIFFICULTIES WHEN HIS CONTRACT WAS NOT RENEWED, HE MIGHT HAVE REACHED A DIFFERENT DECISION."

    CONSIDERATION 3

    Extract:

    THE ORGANISATION'S "PATENT ATTORNEY MAY HAVE MADE USE OF THE PAPERS BUT THAT IS IMMATERIAL TO THE ISSUE IN DISPUTE BETWEEN IT AND THE COMPLAINANT. THE FACT REMAINS THAT HE RETAINED THE PATENT ATTORNEY ON HIS OWN INITIATIVE AND IN HIS OWN INTEREST, AND WITHOUT ANY AUTHORISATION FROM THE ESO. THAT BEING SO, THE ESO IS NOT UNDER ANY LEGAL OBLIGATION TO REIMBURSE TO THE COMPLAINANT THE AMOUNT OF FEES HE CONTRACTED TO PAY THE PATENT ATTORNEY."

    Extract:

    THE ORGANISATION "WAS WILLING, EXCEPTIONALLY, TO ISSUE A QUALIFIED PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT CERTIFICATE IN THE FORM SPECIFIED BY THE LAWS OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC AS PART OF AN OVERALL SETTLEMENT IN WHICH THE COMPLAINANT WOULD BE REIMBURSED IN RESPECT OF CERTAIN EXPENSES INCURRED BY HIM AND HE IN TURN WOULD BE REQUIRED TO GIVE A WRITTEN STATEMENT THAT ALL HIS CLAIMS ARISING FROM HIS EMPLOYMENT WITH THE ESO HAD BEEN SETTLED AND THAT HE WOULD REFRAIN FROM MAKING ANY FURTHER CLAIMS OR TAKE ANY FURTHER ACTION AGAINST THE ORGANISATION. THE COMPLAINANT BEING UNWILLING TO GIVE SUCH A STATEMENT, NO SETTLEMENT WAS REACHED. IN THE ABSENCE OF AGREEMENT BY BOTH PARTIES TO THE TERMS TO THE PROPOSED SETTLEMENT, THE ESO IS UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE THE COMPLAINANT WITH THE PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT HE SEEKS."

    CONSIDERATION 16

    Extract:

    WHILE REJECTING THE COMPLAINANTS' PLEA OF BREACH OF ACQUIRED RIGHTS REGARDING THEIR PENSIONS, THE TRIBUNAL HOLDS THAT "THEY MAY ASK THE ILO TO ACCEPT RESTRAINT IN ITS DEALINGS WITH STAFF. AN INTERNATIONAL ORGANISATION SHOULD REFRAIN FROM ANY MEASURE WHICH IS NOT WARRANTED BY ITS NORMAL FUNCTIONING OR THE NEED FOR COMPETENT STAFF. IT IS BOUND BY THE GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF LAW SUCH AS EQUALITY, GOOD FAITH AND NON- RETROACTIVITY. IT WILL ACT FROM REASONABLE MOTIVES AND AVOID CAUSING UNNECESSARY OR UNDUE INJURY."

    Extract:

    "WHAT GOOD FAITH REQUIRES IS THAT WHEN SOMEONE IS TRANSFERRED HE SHOULD BE GIVEN PROPER NOTICE, AND NOT JUST OF A VAGUE INTENTION, BUT OF THE NATURE OF THE POST HE IS TO GET AND OF THE DUTY STATION."

[...] THE ORGANIZATION IS NOT SAYING THAT NO SUITABLE POST WAS VACANT AT THE TIME THE IMPUGNED DECISION WAS TAKEN [...] NOR DOES IT MAINTAIN THAT IT MADE THE EFFORTS IT COULD HAVE MADE TO FIND A SOLUTION. ALL IT DOES SAY IS THAT THE COMPLAINANT NEVER APPLIED AT THE TIME FOR A SINGLE POST. [...] ON THE BROADER ISSUE, IF THE ORGANIZATION'S INTENT WAS THAT THE DECISION SHOULD BE SOME SORT OF DISCIPLINARY SANCTION, THEN IT WOULD HAVE PERVERTED RULE 105.2(B)".

    CONSIDERATION 18

    Extract:

    THE COMPLAINANT OBJECTS TO HER TRANSFER FROM A G.7 POST SHE HELD IN THE DOCUMENT SERVICES BRANCH TO THE POST OF ASSISTANT CASHIER AT THE SAME GRADE BECAUSE THE NEW POST DID NOT SUIT HER QUALIFICATIONS. THE TRIBUNAL HOLDS THAT "THE TRANSFER DID NOT CAUSE THE COMPLAINANT ANY DROP IN GRADE, SO THAT HER BASIC RIGHTS UNDER THE STAFF REGULATIONS ARE UNIMPAIRED. THE ONLY QUESTION POSSIBLY AT ISSUE IS WHETHER HER NEW POST COMPRISES DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES THAT WARRANT G.7 AND, AS THE ORGANISATION HAS EXPLAINED, THERE IS NO QUESTION BUT THAT IT DOES SINCE THE DUTIES OF ASSISTANT CASHIER HAVE ALWAYS CARRIED THAT GRADE."

    THE TRIBUNAL REFERS TO THE PRINCIPLE LAID DOWN IN JUDGMENT NO. 767: THE ADMINISTRATION MAY ALTER ITS PROCEDURE, "BUT THE CHANGE MUST BE PROPERLY MADE KNOWN AND MAY NOT BE RETROACTIVE." IN THIS CASE, THE CHANGE CONCERNS THE CONSTRUCTION OF A PROVISION IN THE STAFF REGULATIONS.

    SUMMARY

    Extract:

    THE DIRECTOR-GENERAL INFORMED THE COMPLAINANT ON 25 MAY 1982 THAT HIS APPOINTMENT AS ASSISTANT DIRECTOR-GENERAL WOULD END ON 31 MAY 1983, WHEN HE WOULD BE TRANSFERRED. HE WAS ON LEAVE FROM 1 JULY 1982 TO 31 MAY 1983. ON 1 JUNE 1983 HE REPORTED FOR DUTY AT HIS FORMER OFFICE. SHORTLY THEREAFTER THE INSPECTOR-GENERAL CAME TO TELL HIM THAT THE DIRECTOR-GENERAL HAD ORDERED HIM TO MAKE AN INVENTORY OF THE PAPERS THAT WERE IN THE OFFICE. UNESCO SUBMITS THAT THE COMPLAINANT'S RETURN TO HIS FORMER OFFICE WAS A "WILFUL ACT OF DEFIANCE AND INSUBORDINATION". THE COMPLAINANT MAINTAINS THAT THE ORGANIZATION WAS IN BREACH OF ITS DUTY TO TREAT HIM WITH RESPECT. THE TRIBUNAL FINDS THAT THE MAIN PURPOSE OF THE INSPECTOR-GENERAL'S ACTION WAS TO IMPOSE ON THE COMPLAINANT A MORAL SANCTION UNWARRANTED BY ANYTHING IN THE RULES OR BY ANY FACTUAL CONSIDERATION. SUCH AN ATTACK ON HIS GOOD NAME WITHIN THE ORGANIZATION CAUSED MORAL INJURY WHICH, BECAUSE OF HIS SENIOR RANK, IS THE MORE SERIOUS.

    CONSIDERATION 9

    Extract:

    THE ORGANISATION SUBMITS THAT "EVEN IF IT DID CONSTRUE 11.16 TOO LOOSELY IT COULD ALWAYS PUT AN END TO THE PRACTICE. THE ILO MAY INDEED CHANGE THE INTERPRETATION PROVIDED IT DOES NOT THEREBY INFRINGE ANY PROVISION OF THE STAFF REGULATIONS. BUT THE CHANGE HAS TO BE PROPERLY MADE KNOWN AND MAY NOT BE RETROACTIVE. THE ONLY EVIDENCE ADDUCED IN SUPPORT OF THE ARGUMENT IS A CIRCULAR WHICH WENT OUT AFTER THE IMPUGNED DECISION AND WHICH THEREFORE COULD HAVE NO BEARING ON ITS LAWFULNESS."

    Extract:

    "IT IS [...] IMMATERIAL THAT THE COMMITTEE DID NOT COMMENT ON THE FIGURES IN THE NEW SALARY SCALES.

    Extract:

    IN THIS CASE, THE OFFICE TOOK THE VIEW THAT THE COUNCIL'S NEW GUIDELINES ON HOW PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE SHOULD COUNT IN THE RECKONING OF SENIORITY DID NOT APPLY TO THE COMPLAINANT.

    Extract:

    "IN THE PRESENT CASE THE TRIBUNAL, HAVING FOUND THAT IN ALL THE CIRCUMSTANCES THE COMPLAINANT EXERCISED DUE DILIGENCE IN THE PURSUIT OF HIS REMEDIES AND CONSEQUENTLY THAT HIS FAILURE TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITHIN THE PRESCRIBED PERIOD WAS CAUSED SOLELY BY THE ORGANIZATION'S BREACH OF OBLIGATION TO RENDER THE NECESSARY ASSISTANCE, CONCLUDES THAT THE DELAY DOES NOT RENDER THE COMPLAINT IRRECEIVABLE."

    CONSIDERATIONS 7 AND 8

    Extract:

    "THE QUESTIONS OF LAW ARE: 1) WHETHER THERE WAS ANY OBLIGATION ON THE ORGANIZATION TO ASSIST THE COMPLAINANT IN THE PROSECUTION OF HIS APPEAL; 2) IF SO, WHETHER THERE WAS A BREACH OF THAT OBLIGATION. [...] THE TRIBUNAL HOLDS THAT IN THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF THIS CASE THERE WAS AN OBLIGATION FORMING PART OF THE GENERAL DUTY WHICH AN EMPLOYER OWES TO AN EMPLOYEE. IN MANY CASES, FOR EXAMPLE, IN A LARGE OFFICE WHERE THERE IS A STAFF ASSOCIATION GIVEN FACILITIES BY THE ORGANISATION, THE ADMINISTRATION CAN PROPERLY FEEL THAT IT NEED DO NOTHING MORE.

    "THE PRINCIPLE OF EQUALITY, WHICH IS BINDING ON AN INTERNATIONAL ORGANISATION EVEN IF IT IS NOT STATED IN THE RULES, REQUIRES THAT WHEN A VACANCY OCCURS ALL MEMBERS OF THE STAFF SHOULD HAVE THE SAME OPPORTUNITY OF SECURING IT.

SUCH INFORMATION WOULD, HOWEVER, HAVE BEEN DESIRABLE SINCE THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN A 'REQUEST' AND A 'COMPLAINT' UNDER [STAFF REGULATIONS] IS NOT OBVIOUS.
