  36th Session, 1976
  Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
  Extracts: EN, FR

  Consideration 2

  Extract:

  The complainant maintains that the circumstances of his dismissal damaged his reputation. "There is nothing dishonourable about having to retire at the normal age stipulated in the Staff Regulations. Moreover [...] the organization gave him a written testimonial thanking him for his services over the past twenty-two years, and that served to remove - assuming it were necessary - the prejudice he has alleged."

  Consideration 1

  Extract:

  Under the applicable provisions, headquarters officials must retire at the age of 62 "unless the Director-General [decides] otherwise for exceptional reasons in the interests of the organization." In the present case, "the Director-General abided by the general rule and was indeed in no way required to grant an exemption."

  Summary

  Extract:

  The age limit for headquarters officials is 62, unless otherwise decided by the Director-General for exceptional reasons; for field officials there is a possibility of remaining in service until 65, but not as a matter of course [not applicable to holders of fixed-term appointments]. The complainant had been appointed project director; he was subsequently recalled to headquarters and informed that his contract would terminate. The Tribunal dismisses his claim for the quashing of the decision to retire him.

• Judgment 223

  
  31st Session, 1973
  International Labour Organization
  Extracts: EN, FR
  Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

  Considerations

  Extract:

  The retirement age is fixed at sixty. "[I]n exceptional cases the Director may retain an official in service until the age of sixty-five. The text [...] allows the Director full discretion in determining the special cases in which an official may be retained in service beyond the normal age limit. The Director thus enjoys discretionary power in this respect".

• Judgment 204

  
  30th Session, 1973
  International Atomic Energy Agency
  Extracts: EN, FR
  Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

  Considerations

  Extract:

  Under the applicable provision, the pensionable age for officials is 62. The Director-General's decision was taken in pursuance of the above-mentioned provision. Although the provision empowers the Director-General to retain the services of an official beyond the age-limit, this derogation is confined to exceptional cases and lies within the discretion of the head of the organisation. In the present case, the Director-General's appraisal of the facts shows none of the flaws which the Tribunal may correct.

  Consideration 11

  Extract:

  The provision to which the complainant refers "states expressly that the Director-General may retain an official in service until he reaches the age of 65 years but [...] it grants the Director-General discretionary power to decide in which cases exception may be justified."
