Decision on the tenth item on the agenda: Amendments to the Staff Regulations: Review of recruitment and selection procedures

The Governing Body requested the Director-General to provide its 320th Session (March 2014) with proposals to reform recruitment and selection procedures, taking into account the views already expressed by the Governing Body with respect to transparency in recruitment processes, as well as a complete proposal regarding policies and practices in all areas of the Director-General’s human resource reform, taking into account the aspirations of under-represented regions so as to reflect an equitable geographical balance. If these proposals were not presented at that time, the interim arrangements would be discontinued and former practices would be reinstated.
