Decision

THE COMPLAINT IS DISMISSED.

Consideration 27

Extract:

"The international organisation is under no duty to insure its expert against any adverse effects on him that the national postal department may draw from conclusions about the nature of an accident that has befallen him while on mission for the organisation. So any claim that the expert may make that goes beyond those limits should be made to the national department, which will deal with it according to its own rules. Nor indeed may the Union or the Tribunal intervene in the area of the department's competence."
