Considerations 5 and 7
Extract:
The complainant submits that being a town councillor did not amount to misconduct. FAO Staff Regulation 301.017 provides: "Any staff member who becomes a candidate for a public office of a political character shall resign from the Organization." The reason for the rule is that an international civil servant, "though entitled to hold his own political views, must stand aloof from demonstrations of adherence to a political party. His holding of elective political office is misconduct as defined by the rules [...] and is sufficient reason for dismissal."

Consideration 8(b)
Extract:
"The political activities [the complainant] is said to have engaged in were never investigated and cannot therefore serve to excuse the inadequacy of the grounds for the decision. Even though the protests came from governments of [the Organization's] member states they are not decisive. The Organization cannot bow to a government's wishes before making sure that they are compatible with its own interests."

Consideration 2(D)
Extract:
The complainant's transfer was motivated by the fact that his political views, as interpreted by the national authorities, could have compromised the success of his mission. "The organisation has rightly adopted a consistent policy whereby it avoids keeping on any staff member in any area where he has become a controversial figure, whatever the merits of the controversy may be, since the activities of international organisations can be effective only if their officials are above all suspicion."

Consideration (H)
Extract:
"In [...] establishing the entire freedom of conscience recognised to international officials in respect of both their philosophical convictions and their political opinions, the Regulations impose on them the duty to abstain from all acts capable of being interpreted as associating them with propaganda or militant proselytism in any sense whatever [...]. This abstention is rigorously imposed on them by the overriding interest of the international organisation to which they owe their loyalty and devotion."
