Judgment No. 1114

Decision

THE COMPLAINT IS DISMISSED.

Consideration 7

Extract:

The complainant, an official of the World Bank, was hired by UNESCO to work for a limited period in a "co- operative programme". His appointment was not extended. He "had no entitlement to any extension since according to Staff Rule 104.6 a fixed-term appointment ends automatically on expiry, without notice or indemnity, and carries no expectation of renewal: his mere expectation of renewal did not confer any right on him in law."

Reference(s)

Organization rules reference: UNESCO STAFF RULE 104.6

Keywords

contract; fixed-term; non-renewal of contract

Consideration 8

Extract:

The complainant, whose appointment had not been extended, "accuses the organization of acting arbitrarily because it made no effort to find a position for him, though it did seek to place other members of [his division]. But the explanation is that he had the possibility of reinstatement in the World Bank - and indeed he himself arranged [...] to go back to the Bank - whereas the other members [of the division] presumably had no such alternative to fall back on. In the circumstances there was no abuse of authority or arbitrariness in the organization's stand."

Keywords

contract; fixed-term; reassignment; non-renewal of contract; misuse of authority; abuse of power
