text: 12 December 1989, and confirmed on 15 January 1990, not to grant the Applicants career appointments in the circumstances provided for in General Assembly resolutions 37/126 and 38/232, and decides that they should be granted such appointments as from 1 February 1990. 3.Fixes the compensation to be paid to each of the Applicants at three years' net base salary of the Applicants as at the date of their separation from service, if the Secretary-General decides, within 30 days of the notification of the Judgement, in the interest of the United Nations, not to grant the Applicants career appointments.

Maria VICIEN-MILBURN- 29 - Executive Secretary - 30 - DECLARATION BY JEROME ACKERMAN Having signed the Judgement in this case, of course, I agree with it entirely. I should like to note, in addition, that had the Tribunal thought it necessary to address the Applicants' contentions concerning the procedure established by the Administration on 13 November 1989, with respect to General Assembly resolutions 37/126 and 38/232, I would have deemed it axiomatic that such a procedure must observe the requirements of due process including the absence of discrimination. Staff members are surely entitled to this in the implementation of such General Assembly resolutions as well as in other aspects of their employment. Regrettably, I believe that the Applicants were not accorded the due process to which they were entitled. In my view, it is also regrettable, to put it mildly, that there should be even so much as an appearance that this entire affair might be related to humanitarian pleas made by them. (Signature) Jerome ACKERMAN First Vice-President Geneva, 25 May 1990
