Considerations 6, 8 and 9
Extract:
"The material issue is [...] whether the organization might, in mid-competition and while assessing the candidates, alter the requirements it had itself already declared for the post. [...] If it decides to hold a competition, "it must abide by the conditions it has itself set for the competition: patere legem quam ipse fecisti. [...] The application of that principle means that the conditions of entry for a competition may not properly be altered once the process of selection is under way. But "UNIDO failed to abide by its own requirements. [...] An essential condition for the competition was waived during [the] evaluation, and such waiver impaired the fairness and lawfulness of the process of selection. For that reason alone, the impugned decision must [...] be set aside".

Consideration 8
Extract:
"There will indeed be misuse of authority where an administration acts for reasons that are extraneous to the organisation's best interests and seeks some objective other than those which the authority vested in it is intended to serve." There is no evidence that the organization, which followed the prescribed procedure and did its utmost to find another post for the complainant, dismissed him for reasons other than those linked to the financial crisis it was facing.
Keywords:
abolition of post; abuse of power; budgetary reasons; definition; grounds; misuse of authority; organisation's interest; procedure before the tribunal; reassignment; termination of employment;
Consideration 6
Extract:
The complainant's post was abolished for reasons of financial stringency. According to Circular 1583 proposals to abolish a post must come from the competent Assistant Director-General. In this case the Assistant Director-General did not specifically name the complainant's post. He merely abolished the division which the complainant headed. It being impossible for the Director's post to survive after abolition of a division to direct, the allegation of a procedural flaw fails.

The Reports Committee, which was called on to advise on whether the complainant's appointment should be confirmed, is free, as is the Tribunal, to turn down a complainant's request for hearings in the absence of any procedural rule to the contrary. "There was no breach of due process: provided that both parties were given the opportunity to state their views - and they were - the Reports Committee was free to conduct its inquiry as it thought fit."

Consideration 5
Extract:
The complainant objects to the decision to refuse him personal promotion under Circular 334. The Tribunal holds that the fact "that the explanation came in this case from the Director-General himself [rather than from the Selection Board as required by paragraph 14 of the Circular] is not [...] a procedural flaw. Paragraph 14 is unenforceable because the Board can explain only its own recommendation and because the text might require it to explain even a decision that ran counter to that recommendation."

Summary
Extract:
The complainant was asked to report to an expert medical examination to examine his fitness for shift work. He objects to questions the organization put to the expert. Though the complaint is receivable, the Tribunal dismisses it on the merits since the material questions were relevant to the dispute and did not deprive the complainant of any safeguard. Once the medical expert has reported and the administrative decision been taken, the complainant may submit a further complaint bearing on the dispute as a whole.

Considerations 7-8, Summary
Extract:
The complainant, who holds grade P.3, challenges the Organization's refusal to regrade his post to P.4. The fact that his chief failed to complete a questionnaire about changes in his duties does not, as he alleges, constitute a flaw such as to vitiate the reclassification procedure. Nor does the administration's refusal to disclose the Classification Unit's findings amount to a denial of due process.

Summary
Extract:
The complainants, who applied for a vacant post put up for competition, wish to have the results set aside. The Tribunal is satisfied on the evidence that the selection procedure shows several serious flaws, of which at least two are fatal: in breach of Manual provision II.3.340 no short-list had been drawn up and the Director-General drew had drawn mistaken conclusions from the evidence before him in dismissing the Appeals Boards' findings of improprieties.

Consideration 3
Extract:
"Rule 1050.2 provides: 'When a post of indefinite duration, which is filled, is abolished, a reduction in force shall take place, in accordance with procedures established by the Director'. The procedures are set out in detail in the Manual of the WHO, and it is clear that the rules preclude the termination of an appointment until the reduction-in-force procedure has been completed. The notice [given to her] was therefore invalid, and in keeping with the reasoning in Judgment 469 the complainant's contract is renewed by implication and remains in force. She is entitled to payment of the salary and allowances due under her contract less any indemnity of earnings she may have received in the meantime."

Consideration 2
Extract:
"According to Article VII(1) of the Tribunal's Statute a complaint shall not be receivable unless the impugned decision is final, the complainant having exhausted the means of redress available to him under the staff regulations. That constitutes a requirement to follow any internal procedure laid down in the Staff Regulations: the staff member must not only respect the time limits for appeal but also comply with any stipulations as to procedure in the Regulations or Implementing Rules."

Summary
Extract:
According to paragraphs 7 and 9 of the Statutes of the UNESCO Appeals Board, appeals must be presented by the official concerned or, on his behalf, by any other member of the Secretariat stationed at headquarters. The complainant was represented by a lawyer before the Appeals Board and thereby failed to comply with the prescribed procedure. His complaint is accordingly irreceivable. The Tribunal remarks that as lawyers ordinarily have access to any judicial body the rules governing the internal appeals procedure would not be admissible before a court of law. But under the circumstances of the instant case the rules in the Board's Statutes must be construed strictly.

Summary
Extract:
Faced with the administration's failure to take action on the basis of the Appeals Committee's report, the complainant filed a complaint within the three-month time limit set by Article VII of the Statute of the Tribunal. The final decision was later taken, after the expiry of the time limits in the Service Regulations. It follows that the organisation's objections to receivability must be dismissed. The proceedings shall resume on the merits.
