Moreover, when the Applicant was separated from service at the expiration of his contract on 31 December 1983, he was appointed a joint IMO/OAS (Organization of American States) regional consultant. The Applicant initially questioned any credit to IMO for the fact that he received an OAS contract after his separation from service with IMO, since the first approach to the Applicant was made by OAS. Despite the Applicant's statement, the fact remains that the involvement of IMO was necessary to appoint the Applicant jointly with OAS as an IMO/OAS regional consultant; moreover, requests for the Applicant's services had to be addressed to the Secretary-General of IMO. XIII.For the reasons set forth above, the Tribunal finds that all the Applicant's claims, except the issue relating to critical comments made against him by Mr. Vergara and his claim for reimbursement for typing expenses, must fail. XIV.The Tribunal decides that the Applicant should be compensated for the Administration's failure to properly handle the critical comments made against the Applicant and for typing expenses incurred- 15 - by the Applicant in relation to his work. The Tribunal determines the amount of compensation to be US$1,500. XV.For the foregoing reasons, the Tribunal orders the Respondent to pay to the Applicant US$1,500. XVI.All other pleas of the Applicant are rejected. (Signatures) Jerome ACKERMAN First Vice-President, presiding Ahmed OSMAN Second Vice-President Samar SEN Member Geneva, 14 May 1990 R.

**Analysis**
The text appears to be a judgment or decision made by a tribunal related to an individual's employment contract with the International Maritime Organization (IMO). The language used is formal and technical, indicating a high level of specialization in the field of international organizations and employment law. The text does not mention any specific projects or activities related to economic development, natural resources, environment, agriculture, forestry, fishing, industry, transport, communication, international trade, health, education, or humanitarian aid. However, it does touch on issues related to employment and compensation, which could be related to the transport and communication sector.
