text: January 1990 and expiring on 31 January 1990. On 15 January 1990, the Acting Under-Secretary-General for Administration and Management informed each Applicant that: "I have been instructed by the Secretary-General to reply on his behalf to the letters that you addressed to him on 14 and 20 December 1989.- 10 - I regret that you consider that Mr. Riesco's letter of 12 December 1989 did not show that you had received every reasonable consideration for a further appointment. Let me assure you that your case at that stage received such consideration. Following your request for review of the decision communicated to you in Mr. Riesco's letter of 12 December 1989, a further review was fully and completely conducted in the light of paragraph 5 of section IV of General Assembly resolution 37/126, which gives you the right to every reasonable consideration for a career appointment. In considering your case, at all stages, your continuing good service as a verbatim reporter was taken into account, as well as the fact that your Department recommended you for a further appointment. On the other hand, it was also necessary to take into account the interests of the Organization and in particular its functional needs. In this connection, it was important to ensure that the Chinese language services continued to function effectively and efficiently. Since the primary users of those services are representatives of the Government of the People's Republic of China, it is of critical importance for the effectiveness of the services that those representatives have confidence that their statements, both oral and written, will be objectively and fairly rendered, interpreted or reported. Furthermore, the efficient functioning of the Chinese language services would not be possible in a situation where staff members were antagonistic to each other because of expressly stated political animosities.
analysis: This text appears to be related to the internal workings of the United Nations, specifically the decision-making process for staff appointments. The language used is formal and bureaucratic, suggesting a focus on organizational efficiency and effectiveness. The text mentions the need to ensure that staff members are not "antagonistic" to each other due to "expressly stated political animosities", which implies a sensitive issue related to international relations.
