case, by accepting the position advocated by the Government consulted, the Secretary-General has not acted in conformity with the foregoing principles. XXXI.Nevertheless, the Tribunal does not hold that the Secretary-General could not, in proper circumstances, take into consideration the requirements of the efficient functioning of the Beijing Institute of Foreign Languages. The Secretary-General stressed, in his letter of 15 January 1990, that the termination of the specialized language training programme "would make it immensely difficult to recruit language staff with the specific qualifications required to fill vacancies appropriately and expeditiously". As the Tribunal shows below, in this case, the alleged adverse effect on the efficient functioning of the Institute and on recruitment is- 23 - pure speculation. It appears to the Tribunal also, that there might be other sources for the recruitment of qualified language staff. XXXII.The Tribunal notes that there is no evidence in the files to support the existence of a threat to suppress the programme in question if the Applicants received career appointments. The Tribunal finds it difficult to understand why, if there had been such a threat, DCS should, on 1 May 1989, have asked OHRM to grant probationary contracts to six Chinese-language verbatim reporters prior to career appointments. XXXIII.In keeping with the wishes expressed by the Chinese Mission, there is nothing to prevent the maintenance of a rotation system. The Tribunal considers that a rotation system is not unlawful per se. Such a system can and must serve the interests of the United Nations and the Member State concerned by providing a pool of Chinese-language translators, verbatim reporters and interpreters, while at the same time developing their knowledge and command of foreign languages. Such training will be very useful in the development of relations between the United Nations and China when those experts return home permanently.
**Analysis**
This text appears to be discussing the implementation of a language training program within the United Nations, specifically in relation to the Beijing Institute of Foreign Languages. The language used and the context suggest that the text is focused on the administration and management of the program, rather than any of the other categories listed. The Tribunal's findings and considerations seem to be centered around the efficient functioning of the Institute and the recruitment of qualified staff, which further supports the notion that the category is related to Education or Employment.
