as it concerns the compensation due [to her] for the moral and emotional injury sustained as a result of the unconscionable delay of almost four years in obtaining her rights as well as the request for reimbursement of legal and administrative expenses incurred in pursuing her appeal, now totalling over [US]$3000." II.Accordingly, the questions now presented to the Tribunal are: (a) Whether, as the Applicant claims, she is entitled to compensation "for the moral and emotional injury sustained as a result of the unconscionable delay of almost four years in obtaining her rights ..."; (b) Whether the Applicant's Counsel is entitled to "reimbursement of legal and administrative expenses incurred in pursuing [the Applicant's] appeal ...". III.The Applicant, having reached the mandatory age of separation from service, retired from the Organization effective 31 March 1987. - 9 - Although the Applicant had been recommended for a promotion to the P-5 level by the Department of Conference Services, in connection with the 1986 promotion review exercise, the Appointment and Promotion Board (APB) did not consider the Department's recommendation until 1987, on account of the financial crisis of the Organization. As an economy measure designed to redress this crisis, promotions from the 1986 Registers were implemented with retroactive effect from 1 October 1986, for pay purposes and with retroactive effect from 1 April 1986, for seniority purposes. The Applicant's name was not included in the Senior Officer (P-5) Promotion Register. The Applicant contends that this was solely because of a communication of 13 March 1987, from the Assistant Secretary-General, OHRM, to the APB, to the effect that "one of the essential conditions for promotion [is] that the staff member be in active service of the Organization at the time of the implementation of the promotion by the issuance of a P.5 action form".
