Internal justice

All members of personnel are subject to Chapter VI of the Staff Rules and Regulations, which deals with the settlement of disputes and discipline. Indeed, as international civil servants, we are no longer subject to national jurisdiction with regard to our conditions of employment or association arising from our contracts or the Staff Rules and Regulations. Our Organization therefore has several bodies to administer “internal justice” at CERN. Finally, the Director-General takes all final decisions in matters of internal justice. It is important to remember that a second level of jurisdiction exists: a final decision for CERN can be challenged externally, by lodging a complaint before the Administrative Tribunal of the International Labour Organization, ILOAT.
