The Law

This chapter reflects on the uncertainties regarding the question of why international organizations would be bound by international law. It places these uncertainties in the broader framework of a vague and ill-defined ‘turn to accountability’. As the chapter shows, international organizations are often held to account for wrongdoing without it being clear whether they have also violated an international legal obligation resting upon them. The chapter then discusses in some detail the 1980 WHO–Egypt advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) regarding whether the WHO could close their Alexandria office and move it to Jordan. Afterwards, the chapter reviews several recent attempts to overcome the ‘basis of obligation’ problem in the law of international organizations, such as the putative constitutionalization of international law or international organizations, the adoption of accountability models, and the emergence of Global Administrative Law.

Administrative Procedures

International administrative law deals with legal recourse within public international organizations in respect of conflicts between employees (international civil servants) and the organization itself. Literature in this field of public international law is relatively scarce and jurisprudence is not easily accessible. Following a short survey of the main particulars in international administrative law this article will present a recent case in which the Appeals Board of the European Space Agency (ESA) rendered a decision. It deals with some typical legal issues which play a role in international administrative procedures. For practitioners, in particular, this case is an interesting example, of how international tribunals solve legal questions in respect of jurisdiction and substance.

Further Development

This article analyses the notion and role of fairness in the procedural rules and practice of international administrative tribunals. After reviewing decisions of international administrative tribunals dealing with the notion of fairness, it shows that tribunals rely on the concept of fairness to limit discretion of decision-makers, to fill gaps in law and to override written law to ensure fairness. The article makes suggestions as to how to reconcile the different visions and roles of fairness in international administrative law. It argues that with the further development of international administrative law, tribunals should as much as possible rely on rules and principles formulated by external bodies rather than on their personal understanding of fairness.

AbstractThe question of whether it is at all appropriate to extend privileges and immunities regimes beyond international organizations to the increasingly ubiquitous global public-private partnership structure has received little attention to date in the scholarly literature. This article examines this question through a study of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, a permanent global public-private partnership that formally incorporates non-state actors as equal players in its core governance structures. The article concludes that considerations of genesis and administrative law-type analyses of institutional design may, to some extent, substitute for the constituent treaty of classical international law in order to identify which global public-private partnerships should benefit from privileges and immunities, as well as the specific privileges and immunities to be granted in each case to facilitate the effective fulfilment of these partnerships' mandates.

AbstractQuestions of mandate are central in the actual operations of intergovernmental organizations within secretariats, in opinions of legal counsel, and in governing councils and general assemblies. Mandate issues can impose real constraints, or generate demands for action, or be brushed aside in some political circumstances. Overall they are a significant and perplexing part of the administrative law of international organizations. This paper explores the highly varied practical effect of mandate issues on operations of an international organization, through analysis of diverse approaches to mandate constraints and aspirations in ventures of the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD).

LABURPENA: Administrazio Zuzenbidea erreformatzeko eta/edo modernizatzeko abian diren prozesuek dauzkaten printzipioen artean, Administrazioa sinplifikatzean datzana funtsezkoa da. Nazioarteko erakundeak Administrazioa sinplifikatzeko tresnak bultzatzen ari dira, eta gure inguruko herrialdeak hainbat modutara ari dira printzipio hori aplikatzen, administrazio-prozeduran zuzenean txertatuta. Lan honetako azterketa Zuzenbide konparatuan oinarritzen da, Portugalen administrazio-sinplifikazioa zer-nola txertatu duten begiratuz. Ikuspegi horretatik, Portugaleko ordenamendu administratiboa erreferente gisa har daiteke, bai administrazioa sinplifikatzeko egiazko politika diseinatzeagatik, bai administrazio-prozeduraren bidez teknikak positibatzeagatik, agerian jarriz erakunde hori oso egokia dela Administrazio Zuzenbidearen funtsezko aldaketak islatzeko. RESUMEN: La simplificación administrativa constituye un principio clave en los procesos de reforma y/o modernización del Derecho Administrativo que se están planteando en la actualidad. Los instrumentos de simplificación administrativa se están impulsando desde organizaciones internacionales, y están siendo acogidos de manera diversa en los países de nuestro entorno, proyectándose directamente sobre el procedimiento administrativo. Este Trabajo pretende un estudio de Derecho Comparado en torno a la incorporación de la simplificación administrativa en Portugal. Desde esta perspectiva, el Ordenamiento administrativo portugués puede considerarse un referente tanto en el diseño de una auténtica política de simplificación administrativa, como en la positivación de sus técnicas a través del procedimiento administrativo, poniendo de manifiesto la idoneidad de esta Institución para reflejar cambios fundamentales del Derecho Administrativo. ABSTRACT: Administrative simplification is one of the keys of the process of modernization of Administrative Law nowadays. The simplification techniques and instruments are taking place in administrative procedure because of the International Organizations’ interest and the resultant implementation process is different from one country to another. Therefore, this Paper aims to present a comparative study of the Portuguese Administrative Law regarding the bases and instruments of administrative simplification, so that Portugal can be considered as a reference in order to design a public policy of simplification and to incorporate its techniques in administrative procedure. From this point of view, we should remark how administrative procedure is a basic institution to reflect the changes of Administrative Law with regard to the principle of administrative simplification.

The Law

Informalism comprises the theories that frame the law produced by international organizations in shades of normativity: member states and international organizations are integrated in heterarchical relationships primarily governed by politics; the law created by international organizations belongs to hybrid legal systems; the institutional veil is characterized by degrees of transparency depending on the internal relation of power; the conduct of a member state acting in the institutional forum is alternatively relevant or not relevant as a matter of international law, depending on the internal relation of power. This chapter describes the historical roots of this conceptualization and elaborates why under this perspective the rules of the organizations are considered as a matter of degrees of legality. Afterwards, it describes the flaws of this theory focusing on the law of the international civil service and on global administrative law.
