• Judgment 1239

  
  74th Session, 1993
  World Intellectual Property Organization
  Extracts: EN, FR

  Consideration 11

  Extract:

  WIPO has repealed former Staff Regulation 3.1, which ensured that officials, in case of fluctuation in the exchange rate between the United States dollar and the Swiss franc, would get paid a "differential" to compensate for loss in the value of the dollar. "On the whole the arrangements under the common system afford a reasonable degree of compensation for the risks inherent in fluctuations in the dollar exchange rate. There is therefore no breach of the staff's acquired rights in the organization's decision, following adoption of the general assembly's resolutions and so as to conform with the rules of the common system, to cancel a particular benefit it had earlier granted to its staff. As is held in Judgment 1241 of this day [...], a benefit granted at a particular point in time to a staff member or a group of staff members may not indefinitely preclude reforms that are in the general interest."

  Considerations 7-8

  Extract:

  "The Organization belongs to the common system of the United Nations, in particular for the purposes of staff pay. That being so, it comes under the authority of the General Assembly and the International Civil Service Commission. The conclusion is that the special arrangements the Organization made under former Regulation 3.1 bis could not be kept in the long run in defiance of the rules of the common system."

  International Atomic Energy Agency
  Extracts: EN, FR
  Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

  Considerations 7-8

  Extract:

  The complainant is challenging the Agency's refusal to refund her taxes according to a specific method. She alleges discriminatory treatment inasmuch as officials of the United Nations Organisation and other international organisations have the benefit of that method. "In this particular area there is no common-system method which the Agency is in law obliged to apply. The principle of equal treatment therefore does not necessarily mean equal treatment for the staff of the various international organisations, each of which is autonomous and applies its own rules and regulations to its staff."

  Consideration 3

  Extract:

  A "point on which the Organisation is mistaken is that the Tribunal may and will entertain pleas of flaws in the decision-making process of the ILO which may entail examining the decision-making process in the United Nations."

  Consideration 8

  Extract:

  The complainants contend "that the arrangement for adjustment ought to have reflected average economic trends in more than just one country. That is to question the whole basis of the pensions scheme. The United States federal civil service was the 'comparator' for determining the pay and pensions in the United Nations common system. It was therefore only reasonable to take economic trends in the United States alone into account. So it was not just a matter of policy: the ILO's decision was a logical application of the prescribed approach."

  Consideration 9

  Extract:

  "Article 64(6) of the Service Regulations reads: 'The remuneration of the permanent employees shall be subject to periodic review and shall be adjusted by the Administrative Council taking account of the recommendations of the Co-ordinating Committee of government budget experts of the co-ordinated organisations'. Though the definition puts the EPO under no specific obligation it does reflect an intention of not letting EPO pay get out of line with the broad trend in national civil services, and that is the rule of thumb followed by the Co-ordinating Committee."

  Considerations

  Extract:

  The Administrative Council "defined its position as follows: 'The provisions of the Staff Regulations and other texts relating to the staff should so far as possible match those applicable to European Communities staff.' It appears clearly from this statement, the precise purport of which is indicated by use of the term 'so far as possible', that the Administrative Council did not decide to ensure full conformity between [its Staff Regulations] and those of the European Communities, that it entered into no legal commitment in that regard and that it merely made a statement of intent which did not provide for any sanction."
