  Consideration 3

  Extract:

  The Inter-Organization Agreement specified in paragraph 1(b) that “[...] [i]t does not of itself give the staff member rights which are enforceable against an organization. It merely sets out what the organizations will normally do. The agreement can only be enforced to the extent that either the organizations have included appropriate provisions in their administrative rules or the parties have accepted to apply it in the individual case.” It can be inferred from the language in this provision that the Inter-Organization Agreement does not supersede the receiving organization’s internal rules. Instead, obligations arise only from their incorporation by the organization into its administrative rules or from the parties’ agreement in individual cases.

  Consideration 5

  Extract:

  The complainant correctly points out that paragraph 8(c) of the Inter-Organization Agreement uses the term “will [...] grant” rather than “may”. However, it qualifies the obligation of the receiving organization by referencing the latter’s “normal policies”. This plain language means that paragraph 8(c) only obliges the receiving organization to match the contract duration when consistent with its normal practice in applying its legal framework. This mirrors the wording used in paragraph 1(b), that the Inter-Organization Agreement “merely sets out what the organizations will normally do”, and does not, of itself, give the staff member enforceable rights against the organization.

  Considerations 13-14

  Extract:

  The complainant alleges breach of his right to a termination indemnity because his post was abolished by the ITU. The Tribunal holds that he was not dismissed but transferred from the ITU to another organisation under the inter-organization agreement concerning transfer, secondment or loan of staff among the organizations of the United Nations common system. Since his leaving the ITU did not result from the abolition of his post, he is not entitled to a termination indemnity.
