Decision

THE COMPLAINT IS DISMISSED.

Consideration 9

Extract:

"Article 28 of the Service Regulations [...] does entitle officials to protection against attacks related to their status or duties and to compensation for injury. But, as was said in Judgment 1270 [...], its purpose is not to settle a dispute that has arisen within the Organisation itself. So it affords no basis for a claim to help from the Organisation against treatment by a supervisor."
