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."

Consideration 3
Extract:
"[T]he principle of limitation of liability has been accepted in many systems of law. The basis of it is that in certain spheres of operation it is considered to be in the public interest that a ceiling should be placed on the offender's liability for fault, the injured person being left, if he so desires, to insure himself against any excess."

The Merits
Extract:
"While the Universal Postal Union, which has legal personality, is alone competent to represent the organization as a whole before the Administrative Tribunal, it appears from the provisions governing its internal relations with the language groups set up within the Union that it is the management committees of the respective groups which are responsible for appointing the staff and that the role of the Director-General of the UPU is confined to notifying the persons concerned, on behalf of the management committees, of the decisions taken by them."

Extract:
In exceptional circumstances the Director-General must be able to dismiss an official whose services are satisfactory in the interest of the organization. "It is for the organization to satisfy the Tribunal that such extraordinary circumstances exist. If the organization satisfies the Tribunal of this, the power arises.
