Decision

THE COMPLAINT IS DISMISSED.

Consideration 6

Extract:

The complainant wants the Tribunal to order the removal of a mention in his file after he turned down the offer of a post which allegedly puts an "obstacle" on his name to get jobs from the organization. The organization contends that it has not had any contractual ties with the complainant since a short contract it gave him some time ago, and it points out that his present claims have no bearing on that contract. "The Tribunal's competence is restricted under Article II(5) of its Statute to hearing complaints alleging the non-observance, in substance or in form, of the terms of appointment of an official or of provisions of the organisation's Staff Regulations. The complaint fails because the Tribunal lacks competence to entertain it."
