    Considerations 3, 4 & 6

    Extract:

    WIPO informed the Tribunal that the complainant had passed away on 2 March 2020. The Organization also informed the Tribunal that two family members were mentioned in the complainant’s personal file, namely his wife and a daughter, and it provided the latter’s contact details.
    Any person on whom the official’s rights have devolved on her or his death has the right to initiate or pursue a complaint before the Tribunal on the basis of Article II, paragraph 6, of its Statute. In the present case, as no such person came forward seeking to exercise that right, the Registrar of the Tribunal contacted the complainant’s daughter by email on 23 November 2022 in order to discuss how to proceed with the two pending cases. In response, the complainant’s daughter only asked to be provided with a copy of any judgment that might be rendered by the Tribunal on the complaints filed by her father. No further steps have been taken by her or any other person to whom the complainant’s rights have devolved on his death on the basis of [...] Article II, paragraph 6, of the Statute.
    [...]
    In the circumstances [...], having regard to the subject matter of the disputes, the present absence in the proceedings of a person to whom the complainant’s rights have devolved on his death and the interest of the Tribunal in bringing these cases to a close, the Tribunal will make orders balancing these considerations.

  • Judgment 4405


    132nd Session, 2021
    International Criminal Court
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR
    Summary: The complainant challenges the decisions to abolish her post and terminate her fixed-term appointment.

    Consideration 10

    Extract:

    [T]he complainant is entitled to compensation for the material injury caused to her by the [...] decisions set aside by the Tribunal. She will therefore be awarded, under this head, a lump sum calculated on the basis of her gross salary and the allowances which she would have received until her death, during the term of her contract, on 28 October 2019 and the sum of the contributions which the Court would have paid, in the same period, to the United Nations Joint Staff Pension Fund, less the amount of any indemnities the complainant received on the termination of her appointment.
    In the light of the evidence, the Tribunal considers that the material injury suffered by the complainant will be fairly redressed by setting the amount of this lump sum at 160,000 euros.

    54th Session, 1984
    World Health Organization
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Consideration 8

    Extract:

    "The complainant's case is that the [organization] was to blame for her husband's death. The plea will succeed only if the Tribunal finds a causal link in the legal sense, that is to say, some fairly definite connection between the cause and the effect. The Medical Board's findings provide the evidence on which the Tribunal may found its decision in this case."

    Keywords:

    cause; death; liability; medical board; organisation; report;

    Consideration 10

    Extract:

    "The Tribunal [...] holds that between the overtime [the official] performed and his death no causal link is proved so close as to warrant the conclusion that death was attributable to official duties. His death was not the direct outcome of the additional work he did. Such being the facts of the case, the Tribunal will dismiss the complaint."

    32nd Session, 1974
    Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
    Extracts: EN, FR
    Full Judgment Text: EN, FR

    Considerations

    Extract:

    "The Tribunal does not propose to base its judgement in this case upon an analysis of the phraseology of the rules and regulations. It will, for the purposes of this case, accept the complainant's contention that what has to be proved is that the performance of official duties was a cause of the death of her husband."

    Keywords:

    death; service-incurred;

    Considerations

    Extract:

    The Tribunal's decision is subject to the specific circumstances of each case. It "is not to be taken as laying it down that death in a country to which an official is assigned and which lacks ordinary medical facilities can never be attributed to the performance of official duties."

    Keywords:

    cause; death; duty station; evidence; field; illness; service-incurred;

    Considerations

    Extract:

    The Tribunal sees no evidence of "a sufficiently close connection between the death and the performance of [...] duties [for the latter] to constitute [...] a cause of [...] death."

    Keywords:

    assignment; cause; death; duty station; field; lack of evidence;
