The role of the International Labour Organization Administrative Tribunal in adjudicating disputes relating to contracts concluded by the Organization

Abstract

The Administrative Tribunal of the International Labour Organization (ILO) is one of the first administrative tribunals to emerge from the first international organization in the international system, namely the League of Nations. It inherited its Administrative Court from this organization by virtue of a special agreement between them following the dissolution of the League. Once this tribunal began its work and established its statute and internal regulations (rules), it made it a priority and scope of work to adjudicate disputes arising from contracts concluded by the organization or other organizations that accept the jurisdiction of this tribunal, whether these contracts relate to the work of employees of the organization or other organizations, or those related to the organization's work and concluded with individuals from outside it (contractors and suppliers). This is what we will examine in this research.
