Consideration 3
Extract:
"[T]he principle of limitation of liability has been accepted in many systems of law. [I]t is far from clear that it governs the relations between the United Nations and its officials, since the Statute of the Administrative Tribunal of the United Nations makes provision for exceptional cases. To the extent to which it does govern such relations, it operates solely by virtue of an express provision in that statute."
Keywords:
enforcement; general principle; liability; limits; unat statute;
