Decision

The complaint is dismissed.

Consideration 15

Extract:

Counsel asks the Tribunal, as he has in a number of other cases, to order the Organization to produce a large number of documents and files without any evidence either that such materials exist or that, if they do, they would provide relevant evidence. The Tribunal has previously (see Judgment 2097), and at the present session (see Judgment 2484), characterised such requests as “fishing expeditions” which it will not countenance. It does so again.
