Consideration 6
Extract:
"If, as the Tribunal believes, it is intended by [the material provision] that a pensioner should be paid in the currency of the country in which he "declares his home to be", the article should say so expressly. [...] It may well be considered desirable that he should have an option to change his country of residence and consequently the currency in which his pension is paid; if this is what is intended, the article should be limited to that."
Keywords:

Consideration 6
Extract:
"The Tribunal observes that for some years the organisation itself misunderstood the combined effect of [the] articles [in question]. This is not surprising since the relationship between them is obscure; if they are left as they are, others besides the complainant are likely to be misled."

Considerations
Extract:
The Tribunal notes that the decisions of the Director-General were not promotions but reclassifications following the entry into force of the new Staff Regulations. These reclassifications "having been delayed for reasons for which the staff members are not responsible should be put into effect at the date on which the complainants took up their duties but, like the Staff Regulations themselves, not before 1 January 1971".

Consideration 13
Extract:
The elections were postponed by the Election and Referendum Committee following an intervention by the Director-General. "Whatever may be the power under the Staff Regulations, the Statutes, which are the [...] Committee's only source of authority, required quite clearly that the election should be held in January. The Committee may have believed that the Director-General's prerogative enabled him to dispense them from observance of the Statutes, but they cannot [...] have supposed that their action would not meet with criticism and even indignation."

"The Director-General has [...] under the general rules of the organization disciplinary control over all staff members and he must therefore have inherent power to warn as an alternative to a disciplinary measure and to have the warning put on record; whether or not that is called a reprimand does not matter."

Consideration 5
Extract:
The organization contends that when reimbursing travel expenses for home leave account must be taken of costs. "These [...] are questions of policy to be solved before the regulation is framed so that the solution can be embodied in the regulation itself. Once framed, the regulation is conclusive on questions of broad principle and personnel policy. [The Director-General's discretionary authority] to apply it only when he is satisfied that the organization is getting its money's worth cannot be derived from its terms."

Consideration 3
Extract:
"The words [in the material provision] are an abbreviated way of saying that the organization shall pay the reasonable expenses of the journey to and from the home. This means the reasonable expenses for the whole journey and not just a part of it. The Director-General may settle the details of the way in which the regulation is to be applied - he may, for example, rule that reasonable expenses do not cover first-class travel or an indirect route - but he may not alter the sense of it."

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 2
Extract:
The Director-General may before taking decisions lay down rules for promotion which he notifies to the staff. In formulating the rules the Director-General exercises real discretionary authority; accordingly, when the Tribunal has to determine the validity of such rules its power of review takes the limited form already described.

Considerations
Extract:
The applicable provision permits termination if the person concerned is unacceptable to the material government or if he is unsuitable for his post. The government did not declare that the person concerned was "persona non grata". A statement by a government official involved in the project was not sufficient; the complainant was not "unsuitable" simply because he was unacceptable to the material government official. The termination of the complainant's contract was unwarranted. The decision is quashed.

Consideration 5
Extract:
The material rule "leaves the solution to special arrangements to be made for maintaining the pensionable remuneration at its previous level [when promotion results in a reduction]. If the word 'on' is construed as meaning 'on or after' and the phrase 'at its previous level' is construed as meaning 'at the level at which it would otherwise have been', the word 'maintaining' can be given its full effect [...] Having regard to the manifest object of the rule, the Tribunal does not consider that this reading of it puts a strain upon the language which it cannot bear."

The organisation, "in its capacity as an employer bound to safeguard the lawful interests of its staff [...] is as a rule bound to inform its staff members of requests for information about them [...]" This is an implicit statutory obligation.

The Tribunal holds that transfers from the general services category to the professional category constitute a "promotion". Such promotions are provided for by the Regulations and are actually made. "[S]ince they are not governed by any special rule, [the general] rule [on promotions] must apply."

The complainant was seconded by NORAD to GATT, an organisation which has recognised the competence of the Tribunal. He did not conclude a contract of appointment with GATT and was not subject to its Staff Regulations. His contract merely stated that he was subject to the latter organisation's working conditions.

Consideration 1
Extract:
"At the time of his recruitment and on the confirmation of his appointment [...] the complainant was subject to the former Staff Rules and was therefore in a different position from staff members recruited under the new Staff Regulations [...] Consequently, the complainant did not suffer unequal treatment in relation to staff members appointed later because he was not in the same position as they were."
Keywords:
amendment to the rules; equal treatment; provision; staff regulations and rules; terms of appointment;
Consideration 1
Extract:
According to the texts bonuses which take account of previous experience form part of the terms of appointment. The complainant was confirmed before the new provisions came into effect. He cannot therefore claim benefit under these new regulations. "He could only do so if that article was retroactive to the date at which the complainant was recruited, which is not the case."

Consideration 6
Extract:
"At the time of his appointment the complainant was subject to the old grading standards. His position was therefore different from that of staff members recruited in accordance with the new standards. Thus, since he was not in the same position as those staff members, the complainant did not suffer any discrimination in relation to them."
Keywords:
amendment to the rules; equal treatment; grade; post classification; provision; seniority; staff regulations and rules; terms of appointment;
Consideration 2
Extract:
"Insofar as [the Regulations] confer certain powers on the Director-General in respect of grading, they do not determine the substance of the measures to be taken. [...] Consequently in applying different standards in 1971 from those which had been applicable in 1968 the Director-General did not exceed his authority."
Keywords:
discretion; enforcement; post classification; staff regulations and rules;
Consideration 3
Extract:
"The complainant may not [...] properly rely upon the failure to publish [recruitment] standards which apply to staff members recruited after his own appointment and which therefore do not directly concern him."

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.

Considerations
Extract:
Seniority bonuses are part of the terms of recruitment. Only by retroactive application of the new Staff Rules could the complainant be granted an additional bonus. But the new rules are not retroactive and the complainant's reliance on them is ill-founded.

"It is clear that the organization has acted strictly in accordance with the regulations as they were on [...] the date when the complainant was promoted [...] It is clear also that it would have been for the personal benefit of the complainant if the promotion had been delayed until after the change in the regulations had taken effect" [one month later]. The Tribunal can see no grounds for interfering with the impugned decision.
