Summary
Extract:
The Director-General informed the complainant on 25 May 1982 that his appointment as Assistant Director-General would end on 31 May 1983, when he would be transferred. He was on leave from 1 July 1982 to 31 May 1983. On 1 June 1983 he reported for duty at his former office. Shortly thereafter the Inspector-General came to tell him that the Director-General had ordered him to make an inventory of the papers that were in the office. UNESCO submits that the complainant's return to his former office was a "wilful act of defiance and insubordination". The complainant maintains that the organization was in breach of its duty to treat him with respect. The Tribunal finds that the main purpose of the Inspector-General's action was to impose on the complainant a moral sanction unwarranted by anything in the rules or by any factual consideration. Such an attack on his good name within the organization caused moral injury which, because of his senior rank, is the more serious.

Consideration 9
Extract:
"The complainant is a man of parts and gave Unesco years of distinguished service. Unesco would have done well to treat him with greater consideration. Whatever attitude he may have taken on the termination of his appointment Unesco had no imperative reason to reject the offer of help he made them [...] Yet, though they were not as understanding as they might have been, they did not exceed their rights under the Staff Regulations and Staff Rules."

Consideration 19(D)
Extract:
"It is not a simple case of non-renewal. The complainant was the victim of a misconceived charge of misconduct of which the Director pronounced him to be guilty. The letter dropping the charge contained no withdrawal or apology and was composed as if the dropping was an act of lenience [...]. The illegal use of [the provision respecting special leave] made it appear as if the complainant had been summarily dismissed. [...] By these acts the complainant must have been caused deep distress. On the natural assumption that this course of action was pursued by a Director exercising wisdom and impartiality the interested public would inevitably conclude that the complainant had in some way disgraced himself".

Consideration 5
Extract:
"Under any contract of appointment the organization, even in the absence of express provision, is bound to respect an official's dignity and reputation - in other words to beware of putting him needlessly in a difficult personal position. If the organization fails in that duty it may be ordered to pay compensation, even if there is no decision to be set aside [...] however, only for serious wrong likely to prove damaging to a staff member's career."

Consideration 16
Extract:
"Just as it is implicit in every contract of service that the staff member shall be loyal, shall treat his superiors with due respect and shall guard the reputation of the organization, so it is implicit that the administration in its treatment of staff members shall have a care for their dignity and reputation and shall not cause them unnecessarily personal distress."

Summary
Extract:
After 20 years of "laudable service", the complainant, a "valuable member of [the organization's] staff" was transferred. The organization, in its treatment of the complainant, failed in its obligation to show due regard for his dignity and reputation; the Director-General's apology did not remedy the situation.

Consideration 2
Extract:
"In cases where the Director-General suspects an official of having committed acts of undiscipline in the performance of or in connection with his duties, he has to take action in the most adroit fashion to safeguard, if possible, the reputation of both the organization and of the official. For that reason, before initiating the disciplinary procedure, the Director-General is always free [...] to summon the official and ask him for explanations."

Considerations
Extract:
"The organization has [...] committed a breach of contract by suspending the complainant otherwise than in accordance with the Staff Regulations. Since his emoluments have been fully paid, he has suffered no material damage, but he has suffered moral damage. He is entitled to compensation for the distress caused by the abrupt way in which he was treated, tantamount in its form to summary dismissal, and for the injury done to his reputation and to his prospects of obtaining other employment."
