Consideration 7

Extract:

It is important to note that the Organization is generally under no obligation to extend a fixed-term contract or to reassign someone whose fixed-term contract is expiring, unless it is specifically provided by a provision in the staff rules or regulations. What is important is that the reason for the non-renewal be valid (and not an excuse to be rid of a staff member) and be notified within a reasonable time (see, for example, Judgments 1128, under 2, 1154, under 4, 1983, under 6, 3582, under 9, 3586, under 10, 3626, under 12).
