  Consideration 13

  Extract:

  In respect of the application of the principle of acquired rights to increases in pension contributions, a long line of precedent establishes that “whereas the right to a pension is no doubt inviolable, a pension contribution is by its very nature subject to variation [...]. Far from infringing any acquired right a rise in contribution that is warranted for sound actuarial reasons [...] actually affords the best safeguard against the threat that lack of foresight may pose to the future value of pension benefits” (see Judgments 3538, consideration 10, 2633, consideration 7, or 1392, consideration 34). It follows that, where a decision to alter a pension scheme is taken on grounds of financial necessity, such as the need to address the rising cost of pensions, the Tribunal cannot consider it to be invalid for the sole reason that it leads to a situation less favourable to staff members (see aforementioned Judgment 2633, consideration 7).

  Consideration 21

  Extract:

  The complainants [...] submit that the pension contribution rate at the BIPM is now higher than the rates applied at other international organisations. However, as the complainants’ observation that the BIPM has thereby become less attractive further illustrates, this is in any event an argument based on policy, not law. From a legal perspective, the principle of equal treatment requires only that staff members be subject to the same rules if they are in identical or similar situations (see, for example, aforementioned Judgment 4277, consideration 21, and Judgments 3029, consideration 14, or 1990, consideration 7). This is plainly not the case for the staff members of different organisations who by definition are not governed by the same staff rules.

  Summary: The complainant applies for interpretation and execution of Judgment 2861.

  Consideration 6

  Extract:

  "As the complainant was not reinstated, her employment relationship with WMO ended on 3 November 2006 and with her separation from service, her right to participate in the UNJSPF ended (see Judgments 1338, 1797 and 1904). Further, as also stated in Judgment 2621 under 5, 'had it been its intent the Tribunal would have specifically ordered the payment of an amount equivalent to the pension fund contributions that would otherwise have been paid by the [organisation]'."

  Considerations 12-13

  Extract:

  "The Organization pleads that it is under no duty to pay contributions for [the complainant] to the Pension Fund or to the staff health insurance plan and would have had such duty only if he had been reinstated [...]. The Tribunal ruled on a similar issue in Judgment 1338 [...], in which it held that its award [...] of damages equivalent to 'the amount of the salary, allowances and other entitlements [the complainant] would have received' had not required reinstatement in the Pension Fund or health insurance."
