Judgment No. 1225
Decision
THE COMPLAINT IS DISMISSED.
Considerations 4-5
Extract:
The complainant seeks the refund of sums withheld from his pay as staff assessment. He submits that the FAO was applying a system of taxation at source without providing any service in return. The Tribunal holds that all that matters is whether the organization's subsequent refusal to refund the amounts withheld from his pay was lawful. "The levy of staff assessment on the complainant was initially lawful and equitable. If for any reason it had not been levied the basic objective of equality between him and other staff in like case would have been defeated."

Consideration 7
Extract:
The adjustment of the net contribution to be made by a member State under Financial Rule 202.8 is a matter between that State and the Organization; if a State does not insist upon, or waives, its rights, that is no concern of the staff member as such in his relations to the Organization, whatever may be his rights as a citizen or resident of that State.
