Consideration 1(B)
Extract:
The complainant, who was living in London, sent in an application for employment to FAO headquarters in Rome, and went there at her own expense. "[Thus] not only did the complainant offer her services, but she took the tests of her own accord [and did not] make repayment of any of her expenses a condition of her acceptance of appointment. Thus it cannot be said that the payment she is now claiming was required in order to recruit her."
Keywords:
appointment; refund; terms of appointment; travel expenses;
Consideration 2(A), (B) and (C)
Extract:
Staff members who enjoyed the benefits of non-local status included a) some who had special skills or were assigned specialised work; b) others who, unlike the complainant, were invited to join the organization and had not volunteered their services and c) persons resident abroad to whom the organization had sent employment offers. The refusal to reimburse the complainant is not a breach of the principle of equality.
Keywords:
appointment; equal treatment; non-local status; terms of appointment;
Consideration 3
Extract:
"The Director-General kept within the bounds of his authority in adopting the policy [...] embodied in Staff Rule 302.40631." That provision, which confers local status on all general service staff recruited from 1 February 1975, must be read in conjunction with other provisions providing for the grant of special benefits to such staff as required in order to recruit them. "Thus the Staff Rules make a distinction between groups of general service category members. The desirability of the distinction may be open to question, but it is enough to defeat any allegation of inequality."

Consideration 1(B)
Extract:
The rules provide for the reimbursement of travel expenses of officials when, in the view of the director of personnel, such payment is required to recruit them. The Director of personnel cannot exercise this discretion as he pleases. He must "consider in each case whether or not payment was required in order to recruit, and the exercise of his discretion is subject to review by an administrative as well as by a judicial body."

Consideration 4
Extract:
The organization's Governing Council decided to consider all general service officials, recruited after a certain date, as local staff and the Tribunal accepts that reinstatement is not the same as recruitment. But the fact that the Director-General could, consistent with the Council's declaration, have continued to reinstate non-local staff does not mean that he is required to do so. He is free to act as he wishes and the Tribunal cannot interfere.

"The executive head of an organisation is bound at all times to safeguard its interests and, where necessary, give them priority over others. One area in which the rule applies is staff recruitment. [...] But he may not forgo taking a decision in the organisation's interests for the sole purpose of satisfying a Member State. The organisation has an interest in being on good terms with all Member States, but that is no valid ground for a Director-General to fall in with the wishes of every one of them."

Consideration 1
Extract:
The complainant requests the cancellation of procedures by which a candidate for the material post was selected and appointed. "The organization has acknowledged - and rightly so - that the procedures were irregular. Thus, insofar as the complainant wishes to have them cancelled, her complaint no longer has any foundation. She has now to co-operate fully with the organization in the review of the [...] classification of her post."

Consideration 11
Extract:
The language and form of the document and the circumstances in which it was executed support the view that the organization intended to make a commitment, albeit one that was subject to conditions. "Owing to its failure to distinguish between a contract to appoint and the fact of appointment itself, the organization erroneously believed that it would not be legally bound until the appointment was actually made."

WHO Staff Regulation 4.4 provides that "without prejudice to the inflow of fresh talent at the various levels, vacancies shall be filled by promotion of persons already in the service of the organization in preference to persons from outside". The organization must rely upon the members of a selection committee to pay what they consider to be due regard to the factors mentioned in the Regulations. "It would only be in a case in which it could be shown that a factor had been wilfully disregarded that the Tribunal could begin to entertain any complaint."

Summary
Extract:
When she was recruited, the complainant had local status. She later married, acquired a new nationality by naturalisation and lost her original nationality. The Tribunal holds that her status is dependent on her nationality at the time of appointment. According to the relevant provisions, a change of nationality does not in itself entail a change in status. The complainant is not entitled to the benefits provided for officials who leave their own country to live in another. The complaint is dismissed.

Consideration 16
Extract:
"[T]here is a clear distinction between a contract to appoint and the appointment itself, and it is normal to have an interval between the two so as to allow for the preparation of the formal documents. The payment of salary and the start of the official's duties, including the duty to travel to his place of work, would naturally be contemporaneous and begin on a date to be fixed by the letter of appointment."

Consideration 7
Extract:
The complainant is entitled to have it declared that she was at the time of her appointment resident at Lima. "But the Tribunal will not decide that she was entitled to 'attendant benefits' [...] This is a question which may be answered differently in the case of different benefits under different rules; the answer may be dependent also upon the relevant facts and circumstances at the time when the benefit becomes due. If and when an allegation is made that any particular benefit has been wrongfully withheld, the Tribunal will decide it upon the facts then presented.

Consideration 2
Extract:
The complainant invites the Tribunal to rule that she was "internationally recruited" and therefore subject to the benefits provided for by the applicable provisions. The term does not appear in any of the provisions cited; no definition of the term is to be found in the dossier. "The Tribunal takes it to mean that staff whose nationality and/or residence at the time of recruitment was not that of the country in which the duty station for which they were recruited is situated."

Consideration 8
Extract:
The interveners have not provided a clear and positive statement of their residence at the time of recruitment.

In order to lower editorial expenditure the complainant's post was abolished and free-lance staff engaged under contract. "[I]n abolishing the complainant's post and assigning her functions to someone engaged under contract the Director-General was giving effect to [the organization's] policy. It is not for the Tribunal to review such policy, whether it relates to the scope of the [organization's] activities or to its methods of work."

Consideration 5
Extract:
"Although the complainant regularly received his salary increments his work was not always fully satisfactory, as appears from the dossier and is suggested by the failure of his many applications. On the other hand, the successful candidate had been trained for the vacant post and had proved himself fully fit for it. In the circumstances, even though the decision may be open to question, the Director-General did not draw any clearly false conclusions from the dossier."

Considerations
Extract:
"The process of selection of civil servants should by its very nature be based not just on the results of an examination but on any other useful criteria. Account should be taken, not only of the candidates' possession of the expressly stipulated qualifications, but of their degrees and of their professional experience, which in itself constitutes a criterion for selection and one of particular relevance in recruiting civil servants."

appointment; competition; condition; degree; discretion; elements; open competition; professional experience; vacancy;

"An internal competition, of which the main purpose is to promote existing staff members, normally entails taking into consideration all the information available to the organisation concerning them, and in particular information which allows of appraising the professional experience of the candidates."

Considerations
Extract:
The impugned decisions relate to two different competitions and are contested on different grounds, although "each of them affects the complainant's career in a very similar way. The complainant may therefore refer them to the Tribunal in one and the same complaint."

According to the vacancy notice, "the vacancy was to be filled, not by a competition in the strict sense of the term, but by selection. The process of selection of civil servants should by its very nature be based [...] on any [...] useful criteria."

"[T]he board of examiners had a duty to determine whether or not the candidates should take a written examination.

Keywords:

"In taking previous performance [of serving staff members] as one of its criteria for the classification of candidates, the Board of examiners [...] did not exceed its proper authority to make a general assessment of them and make a choice."

Extract:
"With regard to the failure to appoint [the complainant], the proceedings have shown that after consulting various persons qualified to give an opinion on the candidates [...] the [...] chief of service selected [an official] who was already working for him and of whose efficiency and diligence he had personal experience.

It is stated in their contracts that officials are initially appointed to a given post, subject to possible transfer subsequently. "The wording [initially, subsequently] of this provision does not mean that in every case an official must perform the duties of the original post for a certain period of time before being required to accept re-assignment. If the first assignment appears straight away to be unsuitable, there is nothing to prevent his immediate re-assignment. Any other solution might be as damaging to the official as to the organisation."

It is clear from the evidence that "in holding that [the complainant's] refusal to perform military service in the country of which he was a national [kept him from meeting] the requirements for appointment as an international officer, the [organization] was not basing its view on a consideration of principle, but on an examination of the circumstances in which the refusal had taken place; that accordingly the decision was in no way tainted by illegality [...]."
