  • Judgment 4458


    133rd Session, 2022
    United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR
    Summary: The complainant seeks the setting aside of the information circular which, according to her, announced the closure of the UNESCO Commissary.

    Consideration 14

    Extract:

    UNESCO has requested that the complainant’s further submissions and the appended documents be disregarded. It argues that their submission, as an exception to the rule under which proceedings before the Tribunal are ordinarily limited to the filing of two briefs by each of the parties, is not warranted by exceptional circumstances, as required by the precedent set, in particular, by Judgment 1684. This request cannot be granted, since the submission in question was, in this case, duly authorised by the President of the Tribunal.

    Consideration 15

    Extract:

    In his [...] letter [...], counsel for the complainant requested the Tribunal to disregard various arguments put in UNESCO’s final observations on the ground that those arguments, relating to the receivability of the complaint and the Tribunal’s jurisdiction to hear it, were not specifically intended to respond to the [...] further submissions. However, while it would certainly not have been permissible for UNESCO to raise new objections to receivability at that stage of the proceedings, it cannot be considered improper for it to have used this final submission, as it did in this case, to expand its arguments relating to the objections raised in its previous submissions, since the President of the Tribunal did not require it to restrict the scope of its final observations to the new points contained in the complainant’s further submissions. It should also be pointed out that those observations could not have had a decisive influence on the outcome of this case, because in any event it is for the Tribunal to ascertain of its own motion whether it has jurisdiction to hear the complaints submitted to it.

  • Judgment 4457


    133rd Session, 2022
    United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR
    Summary: The complainant challenges the decision to summarily dismiss him.

    Consideration 2

    Extract:

    In its further submissions, UNESCO has requested that the Tribunal disregard the last paragraph of the complainant’s rejoinder, in which his representative discloses the content of exchanges between the parties made in the context of an attempt to settle the dispute amicably.
    The complainant’s objection to the receivability of this request – in which he seeks to rely on the Tribunal’s case law set out, in particular, in Judgment 3648, consideration 5, according to which an organisation may not raise an objection to receivability in its surrejoinder where it could have done so in its reply – is unfounded. It is true that what was held with regard to the surrejoinder would likewise apply to such further submissions. However, the request in question cannot be regarded as an objection to receivability and is based, moreover, on new information provided by the complainant in his rejoinder. The request is therefore admissible, even though it would have been more natural for UNESCO to make it in the surrejoinder.
    As it is, the request is justified. As the Tribunal has already stated, since the confidentiality of amicable dispute settlement procedures must be preserved to increase the likelihood of their success, information relating to any negotiations conducted by the parties with a view to resolving a dispute referred to the Tribunal must not be disclosed in the proceedings before it (see Judgment 3586, consideration 5).
    The aforementioned paragraph of the rejoinder, which should indeed be disregarded, will not therefore be taken into consideration by the Tribunal.

    Consideration 6

    Extract:

    "The Tribunal's rules provide ordinarily for the filing of only two briefs by each party. There are no exceptional circumstances warranting a third one from the complainant, and since the arguments in it are immaterial the President of the Tribunal has disallowed it under Article 9(6)" of the Tribunal's Rules.

    Consideration 2

    Extract:

    "The complainants apply for hearings. They have already had the opportunity of enlarging on their original submissions and on their rejoinders and of commenting on the ample evidence at their disposal. They sought leave to file submissions in answer to the surrejoinder and the disclosure of additional information and items. The interlocutory judgment granted the parties leave to file further submissions, which are now before the Tribunal. It therefore has all the material required for a final ruling. It dismisses the complainants' application as pointless."
