Decision

THE COMPLAINT AND IFAD'S COUNTERCLAIMS ARE DISMISSED.

Consideration 10

Extract:

"The duty laid on international organisations to treat their staff with due consideration and not to impair their dignity may extend beyond the term of their appointment. In charging a staff member with misconduct in the performance of duty an organisation must observe due process, otherwise it may be held liable even after its contractual or statutory ties with the official have ceased, and the Tribunal will entertain such matters."
