The Problem of Determining the Status of an International Employee Between Historical and Legal Development

Abstract

This study addresses the problem of determining the status of an international employee by tracing its historical and legal development, highlighting the standards adopted in international jurisprudence and judiciary and the legal texts regulating the international job. It also presents the various jurisprudential and judicial definitions of an international employee, and analyzes their accuracy in distinguishing him from other employees in international organizations. The study also discusses the shortcomings and criticisms of these definitions, particularly with regard to the criteria of independence and loyalty to the international organization. It concluded that the status of an international employee has remained a flexible and evolving concept linked to the development of international organizations and their competencies.
