This work brings together a number of papers written by experts, mostly senior and active international civil servants, but also some retired staff and academics, analyzing the internal justice system of international organizations. New compliant procedures have been introduced in recent years, along with new codes of conduct, the purpose of which was to provide guidelines for correct conduct. These new codes of conduct were instrumental in avoiding disputes, since staff knew more clearly what was expected of them. On the other hand, the enforcement mechanisms raised new questions concerning procedures and due process. This book is a reflection of exchanges of views and information between administrative lawyers and investigators/prosecutors to ensure that the organizations would become more transparent, corruption free and respectful of the highest standards. Accountability and transparency have now become the rule. In addition to the analytic and frank contributions, this work contains various documents reflecting the codes of conduct and charters of values now in place in international organizations.
