Consideration 14
Extract:
The complainant started divorce proceedings and was charged with acting against "law and morals" in his home country and was held there against his will. He was unable to return to his duty station at the end of his home leave and the Agency decided not to renew his appointment. "Circumstances relating to an official's private life - even though they may prompt civil or penal proceedings - are relevant in the area of administration only insofar as they may affect his performance of official duties."

Consideration 14
Extract:
The complainant was held against his will in his home country and could not return to his duty station at the end of his home leave. He seeks the quashing of the decision not to renew his appointment. Whether or not the Agency was competent to settle the issue which led the authorities of his country to keep him from returning to his duty station, it "had and still has the duty to safeguard its employee's right to work in full independence for his employer".
