  International Labour Organization
  Extracts: EN, FR
  Full Judgment Text: EN, FR
  Summary: The complainant, a former official of the International Labour Office, impugns the decisions of the Director-General to issue a reprimand against him, to revoke his appointment as a Director, to appoint another person to that post and, finally, to discharge him with notice.

  Consideration 25

  Extract:

  [T]he Tribunal finds that the complainant’s conduct was in fact such as to reflect adversely on his position and compromise the Organization’s image and interests.
  Engaging in domestic abuse, which is not only a criminal offence but also strongly condemned by society, is a clear breach of the requirements of moral probity and decency that all international civil servants must respect. By its very nature, the conduct in question therefore adversely reflected on the complainant’s status and position.
  Moreover, any publicity given to such conduct was likely to compromise the reputation and image of the Organization, especially as the complainant held a senior position within it. This risk was all the more significant for the fact that the ILO’s mandate, as entrusted to it by the international community, includes promoting gender equality and combating violence against women in the world of work, and, when seen against its pursuit of these objectives, it would obviously have been highly embarrassing for the Office if it had appeared to tolerate one of its officials assaulting his wife. The offending conduct was therefore also such as to compromise the image and interests of the Organization.
  In this regard, it should be pointed out that the fact that the complainant’s conviction by the Tribunal correctionnel was exempted from entry in certificate No. 2 of his criminal record does not, in practice, exclude the possibility that third parties may nevertheless learn of that conviction.
