and the Staff Rules and Regulations, as well as under General Assembly resolutions 37/126 and 38/232 (see para. XXXIII). XLII.Consequently, the Tribunal finds that the Secretary-General's decision to refuse the Applicants' request for career appointments exceeds the limits of his discretion. His decision is based on reasons which are contrary to the interests of the United Nations, erroneous or inaccurate as to fact, and specious. It ignores the basic principles of the international civil service, as enunciated in Articles 100 and 101 of the Charter. XLIII.The Tribunal considers that the Secretary-General wrongly refused the Applicants career appointments, contrary to General Assembly resolutions 37/126 and 38/232. The decision of 12 December 1989, as confirmed on 15 January 1990, in respect of the three Applicants must therefore be rescinded, and career appointments granted to them with effect from 1 February 1990. XLIV.The Tribunal notes that the Applicants have contended that they were not considered in accordance with the procedure established in the memorandum dated 13 November 1989, from the Director of the Staff Administration and Training Division, OHRM, addressed to all Personnel Officers, with a view to giving effect to General Assembly resolutions 37/126 and 38/232, and that accordingly the denial of career appointments was also vitiated by the lack of due process. However, the Tribunal takes the view that there is no need to examine that point. It has found the Secretary-General's denial of career appointments invalid on other grounds. XLV.In accordance with article 9, paragraph 1, of its Statute, it- 27 - is for the Tribunal to fix the amount of compensation to be paid to each Applicant for the injury sustained should the Secretary-General, within 30 days of the notification of the judgement, "decide, in the interest of the United Nations, that the applicant shall be compensated".
