Legal Protection for United Nations Staff

Abstract

The development of international law from governing relations between states to a law governing other persons of international law, including international organizations, on the one hand, and the increase in their number and the expansion of their activities to cover multiple areas on the other hand, raises several problems related to the damage or violations that result in the exercise of their competences committed against their institutions or their employees, whether in terms of the legal relationship outside the framework of the international organization with member states, non-member states or other international organizations, or at the level of legal relationship within the international organization between its organs and its employees or among the international staff themselves, a matter that calls for the exercise of legal protection internationally and its provision for internal litigation proceedings.
