Decision

THE COMPLAINT IS DISMISSED.

Consideration 7

Extract:

"The proper performance of his mission by an international civil servant requires him to avoid such infringement of the ethical rules of the host country as may hamper or prevent the discharge of duty." The complainant's breach of those rules warranted transfer to Headquarters.

Consideration 7

Extract:

The complainant "may not treat the organization as liable for the financial consequences of a decision for which he was solely to blame. so his claims to compensation for a drop in pay and to damages for premature transfer are therefore without merit."
