THE COMPLAINT IS DISMISSED.

Considerations

Extract:

The complainant, who was one of a number of candidates for a post in the organization, appeals against the Director-General's decision to appoint another candidate. "Such a decision falls within the discretionary authority of the Director-General and accordingly the Tribunal has only a limited power of review."
