    138e session, 2024
    Organisation européenne pour la recherche nucléaire
    Extraits: EN, FR

    Synthèse: The complainant challenges his performance evaluation for 2018 rating such performance as “fair”.

    Considérant 18

    Extrait:

    The Tribunal’s case law has often emphasized that a staff member alleging abuse of authority bears the burden of establishing the improper purposes for which the authority was exercised (see, for example, Judgments 4618, consideration 10, 4382, consideration 13, and 4146, consideration 10).

    Synthèse: The complainant challenges his staff report for 2008-2009.

    Considérant 8

    Extrait:

    More recent case law of the Tribunal makes it clear that moral damages are not awarded when not substantiated. Moral damages arise from moral injury. It is necessary for a complainant to establish evidence of the injury suffered, of the alleged unlawful act adversely affecting her or him, and of the causal link between the unlawful act and the injury (see Judgments 4637, consideration 19, 4158, consideration 7, 4157, consideration 9, and 4156, considerations 5 and 6). In the present case, the complainant does not demonstrate with persuasive evidence that any of the events for which he expressly or impliedly seeks moral damages caused him moral injury, let alone demonstrates a causal link between the alleged unlawful act adversely affecting him and the damage suffered. Accordingly, his various claims for moral damages must be rejected.

    Synthèse: The complainant challenges her staff report for 2008-2009 and the decision not to initiate a harassment procedure against her reporting officer.

    Considérant 6

    Extrait:

    The third subheading referred to earlier is that “[s]landerous/libellous comments have been disseminated about me”. This is a contention concerning the conduct of Mr T.E. The only relevance of this plea in relation to the staff report would be if the complainant was able to establish that Mr T.E. had been actuated by bias or ill will towards her which infected his assessment of her performance. In the main, the evidence relied upon by the complainant concerns matters of detail including comments to which she takes exception or comments that she views as contradictory, but nonetheless views as proof of bias or ill will. None of the evidence, either in isolation or in aggregate, demonstrates bias or ill will on the part of Mr T.E. in the preparation of the report, which was also the considered conclusion of the Appeals Committee’s majority. While the Tribunal acknowledges the difficulty in proving bias or ill will (see, for example, Judgments 2318, consideration 4, and 2259, consideration 13), nonetheless the burden of doing so falls on the complainant (see Judgments 4745, consideration 12, and 4010, consideration 9). In these proceedings, she has failed to do so.

    Synthèse: The complainant challenges his staff report for 2004-2005.

    Considérant 12

    Extrait:

    With respect to his third argument to the effect that there was an absence of objective evaluation since the staff report included subjective, arbitrary and personal elements going beyond the reporting officer’s discretionary power, the complainant has simply not discharged his burden of providing evidence of sufficient quality and weight to persuade the Tribunal that his allegations of bias or partiality were well founded (see, for example, Judgments 4713, consideration 12, 4543, consideration 8, and 3380, consideration 9). The complainant cannot point to any precise indication of bias within the staff report. The comments of the reporting officer indeed point in the opposite direction and include many that praised the complainant’s performance when appropriate.

    Considérant 17

    Extrait:

    The Tribunal has long recognized that “international civil servants are entitled to expect that their cases will be considered by internal appeal bodies within a reasonable timeframe and that failure to comply with this requirement of expeditious proceedings constitutes a failing on the part of the employer organisation” (see Judgments 4655, consideration 21, 3510, consideration 24, and 2116, consideration 11). An organisation is indeed expected to process internal appeals with the requisite promptness and diligence, and it has a positive obligation to see to it that such procedures move forward with reasonable speed (see, for example, Judgments 4173, consideration 12, and 3755, consideration 15).
    Under the Tribunal’s case law, the amount of compensation for unreasonable delay is ordinarily influenced by two considerations, one being the length of the delay and the other the effect of the delay (see, for example, Judgments 4655, consideration 21, and 3160, consideration 17). In Judgment 4799, consideration 7, the Tribunal recalled that its recent case law holds that an unreasonable delay in an internal appeal is not sufficient in itself to award moral damages. The complainant must also articulate the adverse effects which the delay has caused (see also Judgment 4563, consideration 14). Furthermore, the Tribunal has regularly stated that, in terms of damages, a complainant seeking compensation must provide clear evidence of the alleged unlawful act, of the injury suffered and of the causal link between the unlawful act and the injury, and that she or he bears the burden of proof in this regard (see Judgments 4556, consideration 12, 4158, consideration 4, 4157, consideration 7, and 4156, consideration 5).
    However, the complainant has failed to provide any persuasive evidence of the moral injury stemming from the delay notwithstanding it was over five years and was unreasonable.

    Texte Intégral Du Jugement: EN, FR
    Synthèse: The complainant challenges his staff report for 2004-2005.

    Considérant 13

    Extrait:

    Turning to the moral damages claimed by the complainant, the Tribunal observes that they are limited to the impact of the undue delay in handling the internal appeal process. […]
    But the Tribunal’s case law has recognized that the amount of compensation for unreasonable delay is ordinarily influenced by two considerations, one being the length of the delay and the other the effect of the delay (see, for example, Judgments 4655, consideration 21, and 3160, consideration 17). In Judgment 4799, consideration 7, the Tribunal recalled that its recent case law holds that an unreasonable delay in an internal appeal is not sufficient in itself to award moral damages. The complainant must also articulate the adverse effects which the delay has caused (see also Judgment 4563, consideration 14). Furthermore, the Tribunal has regularly stated that, in terms of damages, a complainant seeking compensation must provide clear evidence of the alleged unlawful act, of the injury suffered and of the causal link between the unlawful act and the injury, and that she or he bears the burden of proof in this regard (see Judgments 4556, consideration 12, 4158, consideration 4, 4157, consideration 7, and 4156, consideration 5).
    The complainant has not discharged this burden in the present case. The evidence of any injury suffered in terms of moral damages or of the detrimental effect of the delay on his situation is barely articulated, if at all, in his submissions. He is therefore not entitled to any compensation in this regard.

    Texte Intégral Du Jugement: EN, FR
    Synthèse: Le requérant conteste l’ajournement de sa demande d’habilitation au port d’une arme de service.

    Considérant 7

    Extrait:

    Le requérant demande que l’UNESCO soit condamnée à lui verser des dommages-intérêts à raison de la durée excessive de la procédure de recours interne.
    La conclusion formulée à cette fin doit, par exception à ce qui vient d’être dit, être ici examinée, car les fonctionnaires internationaux sont, par principe, en droit d’attendre que leur cause soit traitée par les organes de recours interne dans un délai raisonnable (voir, par exemple, les jugements 3510, au considérant 24, ou 2116, au considérant 11). La méconnaissance de cette exigence de célérité, si elle présente un caractère fautif, justifie une réparation, dont, selon la jurisprudence du Tribunal, le montant dépend alors ordinairement de deux facteurs essentiels, qui sont la durée du retard constaté et les conséquences de ce retard pour le fonctionnaire intéressé (voir, par exemple, les jugements 4178, au considérant 15, 4100, au considérant 7, ou 3160, au considérant 17).
    En l’espèce, le délai de près de quatre ans qui s’est écoulé entre l’introduction du premier recours devant le Conseil d’appel, le 3 avril 2018, et l’intervention de la décision définitive du 14 mars 2022 revêt, dans l’absolu, un caractère manifestement excessif.
    Mais, d’une part, le Tribunal relève que le requérant, qui a sollicité du Conseil d’appel, à trois reprises, des prolongations de délai de production de ses écritures, d’une durée cumulée de neuf mois, est ainsi lui-même à l’origine d’une partie du retard constaté dans la procédure et qu’il peut en outre apparaître légitime, eu égard aux prolongations ainsi obtenues par l’intéressé, que l’Organisation s’en soit également vu accorder de son côté. D’autre part, la défenderesse expose, de façon convaincante aux yeux du Tribunal, que le fonctionnement du Conseil d’appel s’est trouvé considérablement perturbé, en 2020 et 2021, par les confinements successifs ordonnés par les autorités françaises du fait de la pandémie de Covid-19, qui ont notamment affecté la possibilité pour cet organe de tenir normalement ses audiences. Enfin, il importe de souligner que, compte tenu de l’abandon du processus d’armement des agents de sûreté à la suite du dépôt du rapport de l’IOS d’octobre 2018, les recours internes formés par le requérant avaient perdu leur objet peu après leur introduction, de sorte que le retard de la procédure n’était pas de nature à causer à celui-ci un tort moral substantiel (voir notamment, sur ce point, les jugements 4727, au considérant 14, et 4635, au considérant 8).
    Dès lors, le Tribunal estime que, dans les circonstances particulières de l’espèce, il ne se justifie pas de condamner l’UNESCO à verser une indemnité à l’intéressé de ce chef.

    Synthèse: Le requérant conteste l’ajournement de sa demande d’habilitation au port d’une arme de service.

    Considérant 6

    Extrait:

    Selon la jurisprudence du Tribunal, l’illégalité d’une décision n’ouvre droit à une indemnité pour tort moral au profit du fonctionnaire concerné que si cette décision lui a causé un tort plus grave que celui résultant de cette illégalité en elle-même (voir notamment les jugements 4156, au considérant 5, et 1380, au considérant 11).
    En l’espèce, et compte tenu du fait que la décision contestée n’a eu aucun effet concret, le Tribunal estime que les éventuels vices entachant cette décision ne seraient pas de nature, en tout état de cause, à avoir occasionné au requérant un tel tort particulier.
    Il n’en irait différemment que si l’intéressé établissait que l’ajournement de sa demande d’habilitation avait procédé, comme il le soutient, d’un parti pris malveillant à son encontre s’inscrivant dans le cadre d’un harcèlement moral et de mesures de représailles qu’il impute au chef de la Section de la sécurité et de la sûreté.

    [L]e Tribunal est, comme il l’a toujours souligné depuis l’origine même de sa jurisprudence, une juridiction d’attribution et qu’il est, à ce titre, «impérativement tenu par les dispositions statutaires qui ont déterminé sa compétence» (voir le jugement 67, au considérant 3, cité notamment dans les jugements 4540, au considérant 4, 4458, au considérant 12, et 2657, au considérant 5). Il en résulte que le Tribunal ne saurait statuer sur une requête introduite devant lui si sa compétence pour en connaître n’est pas clairement établie.
    C’est bien entendu à l’auteur d’une telle requête qu’il incombe, en principe, d’établir cette compétence et il en découle notamment qu’il appartient à un requérant revendiquant le statut de fonctionnaire d’une organisation internationale de produire, afin de justifier de cette qualité, le contrat le liant à celle-ci (voir les jugements 2503, au considérant 4, 1964, au considérant 3, et 339, au considérant 1).

    Synthèse: The complainant challenges the appointment, by lateral transfer, of another official to the position of Director, FAO Liaison Office in Geneva.

    Considérants 12, 14-15

    Extrait:

    What the complainant is arguing is, in substance, that in appointing Ms R.B. the Director-General was making a choice between her and the complainant (and perhaps others), and the failure to choose him was infected by, amongst other things, bias and prejudice towards him. The difficulty with this argument is that there is no direct evidence that such a choice was being made nor can an inference reasonably be drawn that it was.
    […]
    As the Tribunal observed in Judgment 4690, consideration 13, when addressing the statement made by the Tribunal in Judgment 3669, consideration 12, and similar cases regarding the reliance on earlier evidence of bias and prejudice to prove the true character of alleged bias and prejudice in later conduct:
    “There is probably no overarching principle which will determine the admissibility of evidence concerning earlier events in every case. At least in a case such as the present, the question of admissibility should be determined by reference to the specific facts of the case.”
    In this case, the evidence of the complainant and the arguments based on it about prior bias and prejudice is not, in the circumstances, relevant to the legality of the decision to transfer Ms R.B. There was no choice being made of the type on which the complainant’s arguments rely. Accordingly, much of the argument of the complainant is not founded and lacks any admissible evidentiary underpinning.

    Extrait:

    [T]he Appeals Board carefully analysed, in detail and over several pages, the evidence concerning the factual question of whether there had been notification to the complainant. It observed, correctly, that the burden of proof that notification had been given fell on the person who sent the document, in this case the Organization, citing Judgment 3871, consideration 9. Its analysis and conclusion that the Organization had not proved that notification had been given is unexceptionable and certainly does not reveal a manifest error. In the impugned decision of 23 August 2021, the Director General accepted the pivotal significance of the factual question about notification. […] [The Director General] challenged the reasoning of the Appeal Board. But, in the face of that reasoning, his analysis is unpersuasive.

    Synthèse: The complainant contests the decision not to convert his fixed-term appointment into a continuing or permanent appointment.

    Considérant 10

    Extrait:

    The second contention is based on a premise that there was a practice that a staff member on a fixed-term contract would, at the end of their fifth year of appointment, be offered the choice of having their contract converted into a continuing appointment at that point, or wait a further two years before having their contract converted into a permanent appointment. The complainant contends his treatment did not accord with this practice and involved unequal treatment. But again, in the main, the complainant supports the existence of this practice, and its breach, by generalised assertions, though he does descend into some specifics. However, the Tribunal’s case law requires that “allegations of discrimination and unequal treatment can lead to redress on condition that they are based on precise and proven facts” (see, for example, Judgment 4238, consideration 5). The concept of “precise and proven facts” entails sufficiently detailed and persuasive evidence to establish that there had been unequal treatment.

    Extrait:

    Fundamental to the first contention is the fact that the decision, as explained by the complainant in his pleas, “was based on the personal prejudice which perniciously lay hidden behind the unlawful initiation of the unlawful investigation process against [him]”. This is a reference to the investigation leading to the laying of charges of misconduct against the complainant on 14 December 2016. This is tantamount to a claim of bad faith which must be proven and cannot be presumed (see, for example, Judgment 4753, consideration 13). But beyond generalised assertions, the complainant provides no persuasive evidence which directly, or inferentially, establishes personal prejudice of the type relied on.

    Cases can arise where an inference can be drawn that an alleged practice does exist, largely because of the refusal or failure of the organisation to provide documents requested by a complainant intended to prove the existence of that practice. One example, relied on by the complainant, was Judgment 3415, particularly considerations 6 to 9. In the present case, the complainant recounts his unsuccessful attempts to obtain, during the processes internal to the organisation, documentation intended to prove the existence of the practice. However, what he has failed to do in these proceedings before the Tribunal is exercise, if necessary, his ability under the Tribunal’s Rules, specifically under Article 9, paragraph 6, to secure documents from WIPO which would prove, in an evidentiary sense, the existence of the practice he asserts. The inference drawn in Judgment 3415 was substantially based on the refusal of the defendant organisation to produce the discovery documents requested by the complaint in the proceedings before the Tribunal. In that matter, the Tribunal made it clear that the defendant organisation should have, in the face of the discovery request, produced the documents. In the present case, the absence of a request or, ultimately if necessary, procuring an order under Article 9, paragraph 6, militates against drawing an inference that the asserted practice existed.

    Synthèse: The complainant contests WIPO’s decisions (i) to advertise his post; (ii) to organise a selection process to fill his post; (iii) not to appoint him to the post without competition; (iv) to renew his fixed-term appointment for three months only; (v) to restructure his division; and (vi) to modify/redefine his post.

    Considérant 8

    Extrait:

    The other and related decisions apparent from the letter of 31 January 2018 were the decisions to offer the complainant a three-month extension of his fixed-term appointment and to advertise the position of Director of the (about to be created) CMD. In his pleas, the complainant challenges the creation of this position contending, amongst other things, it was not materially different to the position he then formally occupied and was the product of a reorganisation which was illusory rather than substantial. It is unnecessary to repeat the various ways this is put by the complainant. However, mention should be made of a submission, which is tantamount to an allegation that the reorganisation was not a bona fide exercise of an undoubtedly wide discretionary power the executive head of an international organisation has to institute administrative and other structural changes within the organisation with consequential effects on existing posts, including their redefinition or abolition (see, for example, Judgments 4599, considerations 11 and 12, 4353, consideration 7, 3238, consideration 7, and 3169, consideration 7). This is, in substance, an allegation of bad faith. However, bad faith may not be presumed, and the burden of proof is on the party that pleads it (see Judgments 4682, consideration 3, 4353, consideration 12, and 2800, consideration 21). In the present case, there is not a scintilla of evidence that the reorganisation decision did not involve a bona fide exercise of the wide discretionary power of the executive head. This plea is unfounded.

    Extrait:

    [L]e Tribunal rappelle qu’il est de jurisprudence constante que la charge de la preuve d’un manque d’impartialité d’un ou de plusieurs membres d’un organe de recours interne incombe à tout requérant. Or, en l’espèce, l’intéressée n’apporte manifestement pas la preuve qui lui incombe à cet égard, étant donné que de simples soupçons et des allégations non étayées par une preuve tangible ne suffisent pas à établir un manque d’impartialité de tout ou partie des membres de la Commission mixte de recours (voir, par exemple, les jugements 4662, au considérant 13, et 4553, au considérant 7).

    Synthèse: The complainant challenges the decisions to abolish the post she used to hold and not to renew her contract beyond 31 December 2020.

    Considérant 5

    Extrait:

    The Tribunal notes that bias, prejudice, and bad faith cannot be presumed, they must be proven and the complainant bears the burden of proof (see Judgment 4688, consideration 10, and the case law cited therein). Although evidence of personal prejudice is often concealed and such prejudice must be inferred from surrounding circumstances, that does not relieve complainants, who bear the burden of proving their allegations, from introducing evidence of sufficient quality and weight to persuade the Tribunal. Mere suspicion and unsupported allegations are clearly not enough, the less so where, as here, the actions of the organization, which are alleged to have been tainted by personal prejudice, are shown to have a verifiable objective justification (see Judgment 4745, consideration 12).

    Synthèse: The complainant contests the decision not to renew her fixed-term contract due to underperformance after placing her on a three-month Performance Improvement Plan.

    Considérant 34

    Extrait:

    [T]he complainant claims material damages in an amount equal to two years’ salary, benefits, step increases, pension contributions, and all other entitlements and emoluments that she would have received had she not been wrongfully separated from service. This claim is not substantiated in the complainant’s proceedings be it in terms of years sought or of her expectations within the Organization. Given that any fixed-term contract the complainant ever held with IOM never exceeded one year and that the total length of her services with the Organization lasted approximately five years, the Tribunal considers that this claim is not justified and overstated in the circumstances.
    An award of material damages in an amount equivalent to nine months’ salary, including benefits, entitlements and emoluments, represents a fair and reasonable compensation in the present case. IOM will be ordered to pay this amount to the complainant, plus interest at the rate of 5 per cent per annum from 1 November 2019, less any amounts she may have earned from other employment during that period of nine months beginning on 1 November 2019.

    Extrait:

    The complainant also claims moral damages in an amount equal to no less than one year of her former gross salary and benefits. But the Tribunal’s case law states that in respect of damages, the complainant bears the burden of proof and that she must provide evidence of the alleged injury (see, for example, Judgment 4156, consideration 5). It suffices to note that in the present situation, notwithstanding this precedent, the complainant did not provide any specification of the moral injury she allegedly suffered nor evidence supporting its existence. This claim must consequently be rejected.
