text: Secretary-General's relationship with the host country. On 5 March 1990, the President of the Tribunal decided to reject their preliminary request. On 8 February 1990, the Secretary-General consented to direct submission of the three appeals to the Administrative Tribunal. On 28 February 1990, the three Applicants filed with the Tribunal the application referred to earlier. Whereas the Applicants' principal arguments are that: 1.The Respondent failed to discharge his obligation under Article 100 and Article 101, paragraph 3, of the Charter and General Assembly resolutions 37/126 and 38/232, to give the Applicants every reasonable consideration for a career appointment. 2.Staff members do not serve Governments but, according to- 12 - Article 100 of the Charter and staff regulation 1.1, serve the Organization. They do not have to agree with the policies of Governments in order to carry out their duties with impartiality. 3.The Respondent's decision not to extend the Applicants' appointments was based on illegal considerations, such as the wishes of the Chinese Government. 4.The establishment of a training institute in a Member State may not derogate from or replace Articles 100 and 101 of the Charter or the Staff Regulations and Rules. Whereas the Respondent's principal arguments are that: 1.The Applicants did not have a legal expectancy of further employment upon expiry of their fixed-term appointments. 2.Appointments on secondment require the consent of all parties to the secondment arrangement. The Respondent properly sought the consent of the Chinese Government to an extension of the Applicants' appointments on secondment. 3.The Secretary-General is bound to give reasonable consideration to granting career appointments to staff on fixed-term appointments (including fixed-term appointments on secondment) with five years of continuing good service, but this requirement does not deprive the Secretary-General of his discretion in deciding whether the grant of career appointments is in the interests of the Organization.
