Consideration 3
Extract:
In the matter of promotion two principles emerge from the case law: "one is that [the Tribunal] will neither substitute its own assessment of an official's performance for the President's nor review the merits of candidates for promotion. The other is that since the grant of promotion is and must remain at the president's discretion, the mere fact that an official may qualify for it under the rules does not confer on him any enforceable right to it."

Judgments ranging from No. 39 [...] to No. 972 [...])."

Consideration 4
Extract:
"The case-law has laid down several principles in the matter of staff reports. First, the person approving the report will allow the reporting officer great freedom of expression. Secondly, the staff member's own comments may serve to remedy any error of judgment there may have been. Thirdly, it would be wrong to approve a report (a) if the reporting officer had made an obvious mistake of fact over some important point, (b) if he had neglected some essential fact, (c) if he had been grossly inconsistent or (d) if he could be shown to have been prejudiced."

"The case law says that when authorised to refuse, without notice or compensation, to renew such an appointment the Director-General has discretion which he exercises subject to an implied requirement of respect for the demands of efficient administration and for the organization's interests. The rule consistently applied is that, short of replacing the Director-General's appraisal of the evidence with its own, the Tribunal will set aside a decision not to renew that was taken without authority [...]".

Consideration 6

"Even where termination before expiry is due to the necessities of the service there must be explanation and justification of the decision because it amounts to unilateral breach of the contract.

For one thing, so long as the contract is in force the Director-General does not have discretionary authority; for another, he may discuss the matter with the government [...] In any case even when the organisation acquiesces it need not terminate the appointment on that account."
