  Consideration 2

  Extract:

  The organization "is not bound to grant appointments in such terms as to confer on staff members maximum benefit from the fund. On the contrary, although it is of course required to take account of the legitimate interests of staff members on recruitment, in doing so it cannot overlook its own interests."

  Consideration 3

  Extract:

  "The complainant cannot properly take the [organisation] to task for appointing him without informing him of its general practice of not granting fixed-term appointments of more than five years' duration. It may of course be regrettable that he was not informed at the outset of that restriction, as new staff members [...] apparently now are. But since he should have expected his appointment to be terminated [...] he cannot found any claim on the omission which he attributes to [the organisation]."

  Considerations

  Extract:

  "When the complainant was reappointed [...] the officials of the organization did not realise that they were depriving him of the chance of becoming a full participant in the Joint Staff Pension Fund. In all likelihood, had they realised the consequences of their decision, they would have extended the period of the contract [...] without regard to the date of expiry of the project and so enabled the complainant to become a full participant."

  Considerations

  Extract:

  "[T]he complainant was deprived of full participation both by his own negligence and by an omission on the part of the organization. It is therefore proper to meet the complainant's claims in part by ordering the organization to pay the complainant from the date of his retirement half the amount of the pension to which he would have been entitled as a full participant in the Joint Staff Pension Fund."

  Consideration 2

  Extract:

  No terminal entitlements are payable if the person concerned receives benefits under a permanent pension scheme to which the organisation contributes. "[A] pension must be defined as "permanent" within the meaning of [the applicable] text if its forfeiture depends solely on the free will of the beneficiary. If [...] the complainant [...] forfeits his present right to a pension by engaging in gainful employment, he does so of his own free will, a circumstance which does not affect the permanent character of the pension."

  Summary

  Extract:

  When first appointed in March 1952, the complainant was not enrolled in the United Nations Joint Staff Pension Fund. Although this decision was not at the time notified, it was confirmed and notified by the letter of January 1957 which informed the complainant that he would become a member of the pension fund from the following month. The date of receipt of that letter was the date at which the statutory period began to run for the lodging of an appeal. Filed in November 1968, the appeal was time-barred and the dismissing of the appeal was not tainted with illegality.
