Consideration 1
Extract:
"The principle of equality, which is binding on an international organisation even if it is not stated in the rules, requires that when a vacancy occurs all members of the staff should have the same opportunity of securing it. The organization is not of course bound to ensure that the notice of a vacancy should actually reach everyone. Its duty goes no further than to issue the notice by some suitable means and with suitable promptness."
