  • Judgment 272


    36th Session, 1976
    Pan American Health Organization
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 2

    Extract:

    The complainant invites the Tribunal to rule that she was "internationally recruited" and therefore subject to the benefits provided for by the applicable provisions. The term does not appear in any of the provisions cited; no definition of the term is to be found in the dossier. "The Tribunal takes it to mean that staff whose nationality and/or residence at the time of recruitment was not that of the country in which the duty station for which they were recruited is situated."

    Keywords:

    appointment; definition; duty station; nationality; no provision; non-local status; residence;



  • Judgment 244


    33rd Session, 1974
    International Labour Organization
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Considerations 2-3

    Extract:

    The complainant, of Tunisian nationality, held fixed-term contracts, followed by a contract of indeterminate duration. Under the terms of these contracts he was "locally recruited". In application of the relevant provisions, "he was deemed to be a locally recruited official and his home was therefore his duty station, namely Geneva, as the Director-General held in the impugned decision."

    Keywords:

    contract; duty station; general service category; home; local status; non-local status; residence; successive contracts; terms of appointment;



  • Judgment 235


    32nd Session, 1974
    Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Considerations

    Extract:

    The Tribunal's decision is subject to the specific circumstances of each case. It "is not to be taken as laying it down that death in a country to which an official is assigned and which lacks ordinary medical facilities can never be attributed to the performance of official duties."

    Keywords:

    cause; death; duty station; evidence; field; illness; service-incurred;

    Considerations

    Extract:

    The Tribunal sees no evidence of "a sufficiently close connection between the death and the performance of [...] duties [for the latter] to constitute [...] a cause of [...] death."

    Keywords:

    assignment; cause; death; duty station; field; lack of evidence;



  • Judgment 177


    26th Session, 1971
    United International Bureaux for the Protection of Intellectual Property
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 4(C)

    Extract:

    It appears from the inquiries which the Tribunal has made of the intergovernmental organisations that the complainants cannot rely upon established "practice". Complainants would be entitled to the reimbursement of the taxes paid only if their families' residence in a place other than that of their activity, and consequently their liability to taxation in that place were justified by special reasons. "The complainants must therefore take the consequences of a situation which was not forced upon them."

    Keywords:

    condition; duty station; refund; residence; tax;

    Consideration 4(A)

    Extract:

    If an official or his family resides in a locality other than that where he works, "and if on that account he is liable to tax, he cannot as a rule insist on reimbursement. Exceptions to this rule are allowable only in special circumstances, for example where the [...] official is appointed on a temporary contract or is unable to find suitable accommodation in the locality where he works."

    Keywords:

    condition; consequence; difference; duty station; refund; residence; right; tax;



  • Judgment 123


    20th Session, 1968
    International Atomic Energy Agency
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 2

    Extract:

    The complainant gave as his permanent residence a city in the United States. This might mean either that he was recruited there or that he was supposed to spend his home leave there. "Being open to interpretation in either of these two ways, this is thus not decisive. What is decisive, however, is the fact that [the] complainant does not deny at the time of his recruitment that he was [...] in [...] the country of his duty station." It follows that he was locally recruited and that he is not entitled to claim payment of his travel expenses or a repatriation grant under the material provisions.

    Keywords:

    appointment; duty station; repatriation allowance; residence; right; travel expenses;



  • Judgment 113


    18th Session, 1967
    International Atomic Energy Agency
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 2

    Extract:

    The complainant did not come to the country with the specific aim of seeking employment with the organisation; once there, she sought work and was engaged for short periods. She may in no way be regarded as having come for the purpose of serving in the organisation and may not claim the benefits accruing from non-local status. "[T]he case comes under the general principle that recruitment in the country of the duty station normally results in local status, and there are no abnormal factors requiring the Director-General to decide otherwise."

    Keywords:

    appointment; duty station; local status; non-local status; residence;



  • Judgment 53


    9th Session, 1961
    World Health Organization
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 2

    Extract:

    "While there is no positive obligation for the organization to brief an official as to living conditions at his future duty station, where the organization undertakes to provide such briefing, it must do so carefully and realistically." In the present case, it was for the complainant to make arrangements, in the light of the information supplied, of his personal circumstances and the amount of his remuneration, "it being neither incumbent upon, nor possible for, the organization to advise him in the matter."

    Keywords:

    duty station; duty to inform; organisation's duties; terms of appointment; working conditions;
