• Judgment 4093

  
  127th Session, 2019
  World Health Organization
  Extracts: EN, FR
  Full Judgment Text: EN, FR
  Summary: The complainant filed an application for execution of Judgment 3689.

  Consideration 8

  Extract:

  WHO is required to pay the complainant interest on arrears as ordered by the Tribunal in Judgment 3689. It should be recalled in this regard that such interest simply represents an objective form of compensation for the time that has elapsed since the date on which the principal amount was due, and that the mere fact that there was a delay in the payment of that amount is sufficient to justify payment of interest, whether or not the debtor was at fault (see, for example, Judgment 1403, consideration 8).

• Judgment 4079

  
  127th Session, 2019
  Universal Postal Union
  Extracts: EN, FR
  Full Judgment Text: EN, FR
  Summary: The UPU filed an application for interpretation and review of Judgment 3930 and the complainant in that case filed an application for execution of that judgment.

  Consideration 24

  Extract:

  The delay in fully executing Judgment 3930 has caused the complainant moral injury. In awarding moral damages, the Tribunal takes into particular account the following: the duration of the delay, the fact that there was no need to seek a decision from the Council of Administration to authorize the execution of a judgment of the Tribunal, particularly when the budget was already approved for payments of awards, and the misleading presentation made by the International Bureau (in the presentation to the Council of Administration debating whether or not to execute the judgment) that the complainant’s illness was feigned. The International Bureau acted without presenting any evidence from a medical board and without having completed a disciplinary proceeding with regard to that unproven allegation, in violation of its duty of care and in breach of the adversarial principle. The UPU must respect the dignity of its staff members and preserve their reputation.

  Consideration 6

  Extract:

  The organisation "has the option of asking the International Court of Justice for an opinion, which is binding [...]. This option, which can [...] be used without any restriction as to time, does not affect, in the absence of any explicit provisions in [...] Article XII [of the Statute of the Tribunal], the immediately operative character of those judgments. With regard to the opinion which the organisation may possibly request from the Court by virtue of [...] the agreement between the United Nations and [the organisation], this opinion is only of an advisory character and could not, in any event, have any influence on the execution of the judgment by the Tribunal."

  Consideration 5

  Extract:

  "In accordance with a well-established and generally recognised principle of law, any judgment compelling one party to pay to the other party a sum of money implies, in itself, the obligation to pay that sum without delay. It could be otherwise only in the event that the judgment expressly mentioned that this sum would be payable only at a later date and where the Statutes of the court concerned make provision for the right to appeal against the judgments delivered by it and formally state that exercise of that right of appeal carries suspensory effect on execution of those judgments."
