Consideration 10
Extract:
"Under Article II(6) of its Statute the Tribunal is open to a former staff member. However, Article II(5) restricts the competence of the Tribunal, ratione materiae, to complaints alleging the non-observance, in substance or in form, of the terms of appointment of a staff member or of the provisions of the applicable staff regulations. On expiry of the complainant's contract, he ceased to be a staff member. His complaint, concerning his non-selection [to the post of assistant to the head of administration] does not involve any allegation of the violation of any rights which he enjoyed under his contract or the Staff Regulations insofar as they continued to apply to him. The Tribunal therefore [cannot] entertain the complaint."

Considerations 11-12
Extract:
The complainant did not attend the compulsory medical examination on termination of appointment which he had been requested to undergo. "A medical examination at the time of termination is not a mere formality: it is intended to establish with some degree of certainty - in the interests of both parties - a staff member's state of health upon termination. [...] The Tribunal holds that Article R II 4.20 b) of the Staff Regulations disqualified the complainant from making a claim for compensation in respect of a work-related injury or illness discovered after termination."

Considerations 12-13
Extract:
"The Organization pleads that it is under no duty to pay contributions for [the complainant] to the Pension Fund or to the staff health insurance plan and would have had such duty only if he had been reinstated [...]. The Tribunal ruled on a similar issue in Judgment 1338 [...], in which it held that its award [...] of damages equivalent to 'the amount of the salary, allowances and other entitlements [the complainant] would have received' had not required reinstatement in the Pension Fund or health insurance."

Consideration 10
Extract:
"Staff Rule 1050.2, which [the complainant] relies on, states that [the reduction-in-force procedure] applies only to a post of indefinite duration'. The post held by the complainant [...] was designated as a 'project post'. As Manual paragraph II.9.260 makes plain, the reduction-in-force procedure does not apply to posts of 'limited duration', a category which specifically includes country project posts."

Consideration 2
Extract:
The case concerns the "general methodology" which provides the procedure for the salary surveys done under the auspices of the International Civil Service Commission (ICSC) and which permits adjustments in pay. The ICSC and the United Nations were granted leave to intervene, but the complainants object to the intervention by the UN. "Under Article 13, paragraph 3, of the Rules of the Tribunal the President may allow submissions from a third party." The Tribunal holds that it was appropriate to allow the United Nations to comment, "the aim being to make for uniform application of the rules to the organisations of the United Nations 'common system'."

Consideration 12
Extract:
The complainant "objects to breach of her right to be assisted or represented by counsel in the internal appeal proceedings. But she is mistaken. Staff Rule 29.2(d), on the procedure before the Appeals Board, says that 'the appellant may be represented or assisted by any member of the Secretariat'. In refusing the complainant's application the Secretary General was merely applying the rules, and there was no breach of due process since it was still open to her to seek help from a fellow staff member."

Consideration 6
Extract:
The Tribunal has ruled in Judgment 988 "that Regulation 4.9 allows the Secretary-General to promote someone even against the Appointment and Promotion Board's advice and is intended as a safeguard to ensure compliance with the rules on appointment and promotion. The intent is not to enable the Secretary-General to prefer a weaker candidate on compassionate or indeed any other grounds."

Considerations 12-13
Extract:
The complainant had his short-term appointment extended after a break during which he had an external collaboration contract. Under Rule 3.5 of the short-term rules whenever the appointment of a short-term official is extended by a period of less than one year so that the total continuous contractual service amounts to one year or more, the terms and conditions of a fixed-term appointment - with certain exceptions - apply. "The interruption of the complainant's appointment by the external collaboration contract was merely a device to deny him the protection of Rule 3.5 without forfeiting the benefit of his services. There being no change in the actual conditions of employment, the real intention was that he should continue to do the same work as before. [...] The external collaboration contract must be treated like any other of his short-term contracts that ensured continuity of service. So his 'total continuous contractual service' [exceeded one year] and he thus became entitled [...] to 'the terms and conditions of a fixed-term appointment'."

Considerations 4 and 7
Extract:
The Tribunal holds that the wording of UNESCO Staff Rule 105.4(a) "is not clear enough to allow of a ruling and that comparison between the English and French versions fails to resolve the issue. [...] The obscurity of the text prompts reference both to the 'preparatory work' on the rule and to the organization's practice in applying it."

Consideration 7
Extract:
The organization decided not to extend the complainant's appointment on the grounds that the authorities of his country were unwilling to release him any longer. "The organization makes out that, having derived from his status as a 'seconded' official the privilege of being relieved of going through the usual competitive process, the complainant may not, according to the doctrine of estoppel, 'take advantage of a special situation in his favour and then later deny the validity of this in order to obtain some further advantage'. The simple answer to that is that the organization bypassed the usual procedure because of an understanding it had with [a Member State]. So it may not properly expect the complainant to suffer for its own failure to follow the usual procedure as laid down in its rules."

Considerations 7 and 9
Extract:
FAO Manual paragraph 308.411 provides for the award of a within-grade salary increment to officials whose service, during a "qualifying period", is satisfactory. The complainant had her annual increment withheld. "Although difficulties were found in the complainant's attitude towards other staff, [her performance reports] do not show such a pattern of conduct as to impair the quality of her work on the assignments she was given. [...] The conclusion is that the conditions in the case law for withholding an increment were not met and that the organization committed a mistake of law in construing and applying 308.411."

Considerations 4-6
Extract:
The complainant, who has objections to his performance report, contends that the EPO's reporting system does not treat all officials on the same basis inasmuch as one group of officials may complete a shortened report and because the system is in breach of Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which says that everyone shall be entitled to a fair hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal. But the Tribunal considers that "the complainant has not shown that he himself has been adversely affected because staff who belong to another category have [the aforementioned] option." Moreover, "the Convention puts obligations on signatory States, and it is not apparent that it is applicable [...]. At all events, even supposing that the Convention as such was applicable, the Tribunal's answer to the plea would be that the principles underlying Article 6 are fully recognised in the Service Regulations".

In keeping with a resolution adopted by the General Conference in response to budgetary constraints UNESCO had to make staff cuts. "According to the definition of its competence in its Statute, the Tribunal will not review the policy followed by the Director-General in furtherance of the Conference's decision. It will, however, consider whether there was any flaw in the Director-General's exercise of his authority in an individual case."

Summary
Extract:
Article 61(5) of the Interpol Staff Rules empowers the Secretary General to grant an official a supplementary indemnity on termination of appointment, "taking into account the particular circumstances relating to the personal situation of the official concerned". The Tribunal finds no evidence of such a "particular circumstance" in this case.

Extract:
The Chairman of the Committee with a mandate to consider the complainant's request for review of the decision setting the amount of his termination indemnity resigned because he regarded other duties he held as incompatible with the chairmanship. "There was [...] nothing improper about that. Indeed, the Chairman's resignation removed a threat to the Committee's impartiality". It was, moreover, in line with Clause 3 of Article 146 of the Staff Rules.

Extract:
"Article 65, which merely cites examples of circumstances warranting adjustment in pay, is not exhaustive. There may be adjustment for other reasons, whether they be peculiar to the organisation or attributable to outside factors." In the instant case the reasons Eurocontrol gave come within the ambit of the provision.

Extract:
Officials of Eurocontrol do not have an acquired right to alignment of pay with the scales of the European Communities. The Tribunal observes that "there has never been anything but de facto alignment, and it has never been absolute anyway. Besides, even if it had been, the organisation made no express or implied commitment to continuing it. The practice has conferred no right on the staff to the continuance of parity."

Consideration 13
Extract:
The Tribunal points out that, as it said in Judgment 986, it has only a limited power of review in respect of salary policy. It will declare whether the impugned decisions square with general principles, with the Staff Regulations and with the terms of the complainants' appointment. Those principles, which include that of trust, were complied with in the instant case.

But once it has laid those administrative foundations the political and administrative bodies that frame personnel policy have a duty as employer at all times and more particularly when amending conditions of service to abide by [the] general principles [of the international civil service]. As it stated in Judgment 986 [...], under 2, the Tribunal is fully competent when the relationship between the organisation and its staff is at issue, subject only to Article XII of its Statute."

So the Director-General's offer of an appointment as a consultant without the per diem allowance was quite lawful anyway."
