Consideration 9

Extract:

The complainant’s claim for compensation for alleged defamation is based on an organisation’s ongoing duty not to cause such injury to present as well as former staff members. This accords with the Tribunal’s case law in consideration 46 of Judgment 3613 that international organisations are bound to refrain from any type of conduct that may harm the dignity or reputation of their staff members and that this duty, which flows from the general principles governing the international civil service, is also applicable as a matter of course to former staff members of an organisation (see also Judgment 2861).
