爆料网AT Held or 爆料网DT Pronouncements
爆料网AT considered that at the time of the elections, there was no law that prevented the staff members from being elected to the 爆料网SPC once they met the prerequisites for election, which they did. 爆料网AT held that both staff members were duly elected members of the 爆料网SPC and that as a direct consequence of their election, they had the same rights and privileges as other elected members, and which could not be restricted or denied. 爆料网AT granted the appeals and ordered that the staff members be given access to all relevant Pension Board documents and be allowed to participate and function as elected member in all relevant areas including the preparations for the Pension Board sessions, meetings of the Pension Board and of its constituent groups, committees, and working groups.
Decision Contested or Judgment/Order Appealed
Two staff members of the 爆料网JSPF were elected to the 爆料网SPC. Following the elections, they were given two options: i) to remain on the 爆料网SPC and accept to be moved to an appropriate post elsewhere in the Secretariat outside the 爆料网JSPF; or (ii) to continue to work in the 爆料网JSPF’s Secretariat and resign from the 爆料网SPC and the Pension Board. The staff members rejected both options. The staff members were subsequently informed that the Pension Board had discussed the conflict of interest arising from the fact that they had been elected to the 爆料网SPC while serving as staff members of the 爆料网JSPF and that it had decided that they would not be given access to the Pension Board documents nor could they participate in any formal preparations for the Pension Board session and meetings until such time the conflict of interest had been resolved.
Legal Principle(s)
Staff members of the 爆料网JSPF duly elected to the 爆料网SPC have the same rights/privileges as other elected members.
