ILOAT Reform
London Resolution
Considering that international
civil servants, like any other citizen, are entitled
to enjoy natural justice and inalienable standards of
human rights
Considering that international
civil servants do not have recourse to national courts
to protect their rights arising from their employer-employee
relations
Considering that the ILOAT
and its predecessor were created to guarantee these
rights for international civil servants
Considering that the Statute,
Rules and Practices of the ILOAT do not guarantee all
fundamental human rights
Considering that international
organizations should ensure the rights of international
civil servants to a full and fair application of justice
The undersigned, representing
the staff associations/unions of those international
organizations which have recognized the jurisdiction
of the ILOAT, agree and declare as follows:
-
support the ILO Staff
Union in its negotiations with the ILO administration
of specific amendments to the Statute and Rules
of the ILOAT to remedy these deficiencies and to
guarantee the application of fundamental human rights
and practices to international civil servants
-
note that the ILO Administration
and ILO staff union have entered into a contractual
obligation to conclude proposals for amendments
to the Statute and Rules of the ILOAT before the
end of September 2002, and to submit such proposals
to the ILO Governing Body in November 2002 with
the view to adoption of such amendments by the International
Labour Conference in June 2003
-
call upon the ILO Conference,
Governing Body, and Administration to consider and
adopt without further delay proposals that have
been and will be submitted to them, as a result
of the negotiation process
-
call upon the ILO Staff
Union, in concertation with the other unions/associations,
and the Administration to continue these negotiations
without delay so as to provide appropriate and comprehensive
guarantees for the exercise of all the human rights
of international civil servants, through the ILOAT
if possible, or through any alternative options
if the ILOAT is unable to provide such guarantees
Adopted on 28 September
2002, and signed ad referendum:
