expiration of her fixed-term appointment on 30 September 1980, nor at the expiration of her short-term appointments on 31 July and 31 December 1986. It finds, however, that the period of service following the expiration of the Applicant's fixed-term appointment on 30 September 1980, for the International Year of the Child, was in essence an- 13 - extension of her original appointment and was improperly treated by the Respondent as not being a period of service performed by a staff member. Accordingly, the Tribunal orders the Respondent to pay the Applicant the difference between what the Applicant would have earned had she been employed as a staff member at the P-3, step III level (the grade and level at her separation from service), and what she earned as a consultant from 29 October to 31 December 1980 and 1 January until 31 March 1981. X.For the foregoing reasons, the Tribunal orders the Respondent to pay to the Applicant: 1.A sum equal to the difference between what the Applicant would have earned had she been employed as a staff member at the P-3, step III level, and what she earned as a consultant from 29 October to 31 December 1980 and from 1 January until 31 March 1981. 2.Interest of 10 per cent a year, as of 31 March 1989, the date of the filing of the application, until the date of payment of the sum due to the Applicant under 1 above. XI.All other pleas of the Applicant are rejected, including her requests for production of documents and testimony and her request for costs.

**Analysis**
The text appears to be related to a personnel matter within an international organization, specifically a dispute over compensation and employment status. The mention of a fixed-term appointment, short-term appointments, and a P-3 level suggests a hierarchical structure and bureaucratic context. The focus on salary and benefits also indicates an economic or financial aspect.
