  Consideration 2

  Extract:

  "In some employments there are unavoidable risks. [...] The question in each case is whether the risk is abnormal having regard to the nature of the employment. In a case such as the present a reasonable test (though this is only one possible criterion) might be to consider whether an insurance company could, because of the civil war [...] properly demand an additional premium for cover against the risk of injury [...]. If so, the risk would be abnormal."

  34th Session, 1975
  Universal Postal Union

  Considerations

  Extract:

  It appears from the evidence "that the complainant's duties, however demanding and difficult they may have been, did not as such require him regularly to work longer hours than might reasonably have been expected of a staff member in his position." The illness is thus not directly related to his duties "by reason of the particularly demanding nature thereof."

  Consideration 2

  Extract:

  The complainant had been admitted to hospital suffering from a nervous breakdown. "The Director-General did not [...] exceed his discretion in failing to inquire into the working conditions prevailing at the complainant's place of employment. Whether or not the complainant's criticisms are justified, the fact remains that he reacted to the alleged difficulties in an abnormal manner which gave plausibility to the possibility of a relapse and appeared to justify his termination under" the applicable provision.

  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."
