  Summary: The complainant successfully challenges the lawfulness of the selection process for a post for which he had unsuccessfully applied.

  Considerations 9 and 11

  Extract:

  "[H]aving regard to the submissions [...], the Tribunal notes that the complainant was excluded from the technical evaluation on the grounds that he did not possess all the required qualifications, but that the [three] candidates shortlisted [...] did not possess them either. [...] [T]he complainant received unequal treatment when the shortlist was established. As the selection process is tainted with a flaw, the impugned decision must be set aside and the disputed appointment must be cancelled [...]. The Organization must shield the successful candidate from any injury that might result from the cancellation of his appointment, which he accepted in good faith."

  Consideration 4

  Extract:

  "[T]he publication of the internal invitation for candidature presuppose[s] that the procedure for selecting candidates [...] be conducted in compliance with the general principles recalled in the case law and with rules established prior to the invitation for candidature and known to the candidates, such rules being designed to guarantee objectivity and transparency in order to ensure that all candidates stand the same chances."

  Consideration 8

  Extract:

  The complainant, who got assurances from the ILO that it was not going to fill a post in which he was interested, alleges on the basis of a list of staff movements that the organization had filled the post without holding an internal competition. It turns out that the list contained an error, of which the ILO failed to give the complainant notice, and the post had not been filled. The Tribunal holds that he did not suffer any injury on account of the alleged decision he impugns, but holds that the ILO left the matter uncertain for several months. There being no decision for the Tribunal to quash, his claims fail save the one to an award of costs.

  Consideration 17

  Extract:

  The complainant's candidature in an internal competition was rejected on the grounds that he had not served the ILO for an unbroken period of two years. He submits that the Staff Regulations nowhere lay down such a condition. The plea fails. The two-year requirement was clear from the competition announcement; it also appears to have been a standard and long-standing condition for entering internal ILO competitions.

  Summary

  Extract:

  In accordance with Circular No. 380 (Series 6) of 3 March 1987, the complainant, who had taken early retirement, was reappointed under a short-term contract. The decision he impugns is one denying him the right to enter internal competitions on the grounds that he had not yet acquired two years' continuous service since his reappointment. The Tribunal holds that the decision was in keeping with Article 4.11 of the Staff Regulations which says that "a former official, on reappointment, shall be regarded for the purpose of these Regulations, as becoming an official for the first time". The complaint is dismissed.

  Considerations

  Extract:

  "[T]he board of examiners had a duty to determine whether or not the candidates should take a written examination. According to the notice of vacancy itself, the board was not obliged to hold such an examination. It was also free to decide, in the light of its inquiries, to choose only one candidate, even though provision had been made for filling two vacancies [...]."

  Considerations

  Extract:

  "In taking previous performance [of serving staff members] as one of its criteria for the classification of candidates, the Board of examiners [...] did not exceed its proper authority to make a general assessment of them and make a choice."
