Judgment 2102 - ILO Administrative Tribunal (3752 words) |
 | IFAD held an internal investigation which, it says, revealed that three external consultants hired by the complainant made over to him sums of money which were then transferred to personal bank accounts under his and his wife's names in Jersey and Guernsey (United Kingdom). |
| The reason why IFAD filed a civil suit in England to obtain restitution of monies was that civil action was precluded in Italy by the complainant's acceptance of the reduced sentence which put an end to the proceedings there. |
| IFAD does not have immunity from the execution of judgments in England, so there is no substance to the complainant's argument that he fell foul of an international organisation, which is "untouchable". |

| She thanked IFAD for its support and contribution to the formulation of the UNDAF-India document and invited the Fund to join the UNDAF Retreat to be held on 23-24 January 2001. |
| IFAD with its strong focus on women and governance was a natural partner in view of the UNDAF goals set by the Government for the UN Family, promoting gender equality and strengthening decentralisation. |
| Al-Sultan also briefed the group on the IFAD Report to be launched shortly — The Rural Poverty Report — with a view to focus the attention of donors on the rural poor whose main means of livelihood was from the agriculture sector. |
