  • Judgment 3688


    122nd Session, 2016
    World Health Organization
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR
    Summary: The complainant challenges the decision to abolish her post and to separate her from service.

    Consideration 18

    Extract:

    Whether the post was abolished for financial reasons is a question of fact. Those facts were within the knowledge of WHO and it must show that when it advanced financial reasons as a ground for the abolition of the complainant’s post this was genuine. It has not done so. In the absence of that evidence, it is determined that the complainant’s post was unlawfully abolished and the claim on this ground is well founded.

    Consideration 23

    Extract:

    WHO breached its duty of care to the complainant by abolishing her post while at the same time recruiting someone to fill the P-4 position the duties of which the complainant was qualified to undertake.

    Keywords:

    abolition of post; duty of care;

    Consideration 27

    Extract:

    WHO appreciated the long established principle that an international organization owes a duty of care to an employee whose post is abolished to consider that person for other posts for which that person is qualified.

    Consideration 32

    Extract:

    The complainant seeks an order that WHO should reinstate her to her post which was unlawfully abolished. It was however stated, in Judgment 3353, consideration 35, for example, that the reinstatement of a person on a fixed-term contract can be ordered in only exceptional cases. The circumstances in the present case are not of an exceptional character, but the complainant will be awarded 90,000 euros in material damages for the loss of a valuable opportunity to have her contract renewed, the loss of career opportunity as a result of the unlawful abolition of her post, and for WHO’s failure to make reasonable efforts to reassign her under Staff Rule 1050.2.

    Consideration 6

    Extract:

    According to firm precedent, a decision concerning the restructuring of an international organisation’s services, which leads to the abolition of a post, may be taken at the discretion of its executive head and is subject to only limited review by the Tribunal. The latter must therefore confine itself to ascertaining whether the decision was taken in accordance with the rules on competence, form or procedure, whether it involves a mistake of fact or of law, whether it constituted abuse of authority, whether it failed to take account of material facts, or whether it draws clearly mistaken conclusions from the evidence. The Tribunal may not, however, supplant an organisation’s view with its own (see, for example, Judgments 1131, under 5, 2510, under 10, and 2933, under 10). Nevertheless, any decision to abolish a post must be based on objective grounds and its purpose may never be to remove a member of staff regarded as unwanted. Disguising such purposes as a restructuring measure would constitute abuse of authority (see Judgments 1231, under 26, 1729, under 11, and 3353, under 17).

    International Fund for Agricultural Development
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR
    Summary: The Tribunal awarded the complainants material and moral damages stemming from IFAD's unlawful decisions and violation of its duty of care.

    Consideration 9

    Extract:

    Although the Tribunal, as in Judgment 3172, will not rule on the lawfulness of the abolition decisions, it will consider the overall situation regarding the Fund’s treatment of the complainants, including the actions leading up to the abolition of their posts, as well as the consequent effects. Considering this, the main issues to be addressed regard the non-renewal of the complainants’ contracts, the subsequent reassignment efforts, and the extent to which IFAD fulfilled its duty of care and showed respect for the dignity of the complainants.

    Consideration 14

    Extract:

    "As to the adequacy of the notification to the complainant of the decision to abolish his post in Judgment 3041, under 8, the Tribunal held that an organisation must give proper notice of the decision, reasons for the decision and an opportunity to contest the decision. While it is true that the letter did not expressly state that the decision was a final decision, it clearly communicated that a final decision had been taken to abolish the complainant’s post with immediate effect. The fact that the complainant remained in the post during the reassignment process is a matter of the implementation of the decision and does not detract from the finality of the
    decision."

    114th Session, 2013
    Preparatory Commission for the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR
    Summary: The complainant contests the abolition of her post and the decision not to extend her appointment as procedurally flawed.

    Consideration 16

    Extract:

    "A decision taken for an improper purpose is an abuse of authority. It follows that when a complainant challenges a discretionary decision, he or she by necessary implication also challenges the validity of the reasons underpinning that decision. In this respect, the Tribunal may examine the circumstances surrounding the abolition of the post to determine whether the impugned decision was tainted by abuse of authority."
