Decision

THE WITHDRAWAL OF SUIT IS RECORDED.

Considerations

Extract:

"UNESCO, which has been informed of the withdrawal, alleges that the complainant has acted for purely tactical reasons in filing a complaint he described as urgent and then withdrawing it. It asks the Tribunal not to record the withdrawal but to hear the complaint and declare it irreceivable. When a complainant withdraws suit the Tribunal will not look into his reasons for surrendering his claims."
