Judgment No. 70

Decision

THE COMPLAINT IS DISMISSED.

Consideration II (2)

Extract:

Under the applicable provisions, "the privileges and immunities of officials of [the organisation] are granted solely in the interests of the organisation. Consequently, not only have officials no right to the maintenance thereof, but, moreover, the Director-General is obliged to waive an official's immunity if such immunity impedes the normal course of justice and if waiving it does not prejudice the interests of the organisation."

Keywords

privileges and immunities; waiver of immunity; organisation's interest; condition; purpose

Consideration I

Extract:

The Tribunal refers to the competence established by Article II, paragraph 1, of its Statute. "Consequently, in as far as [the complainant] submits that, in the decisions impugned [...] the Director-General has infringed various provisions of the Staff Regulations, and insofar as he prays, on account of these infringements, for the quashing of these decisions and for the organisation to be ordered to pay him compensation, the Administrative Tribunal is competent to hear his complaint."
