Africa: ILO Administrative Tribunal Upholds Appeal By Former Inspector General John Parsons

press release

The Administrative Tribunal of the International Labour Organization has upheld an appeal by John Parsons of his dismissal as Inspector General by The Global Fund in November 2012.

The tribunal said the termination process was "fundamentally flawed" and "procedurally unfair." It ruled that the decision to terminate Mr Parsons' employment be "set aside." The tribunal also said that The Global Fund's actions in publishing the termination of Mr Parsons' employment and the reason for the termination, along with the refusal by the Fund to remove the "offending information" from its website caused "serious and irreparable harm to [Mr Parsons'] reputation and dignity and were a breach of his right to privacy."
