Addenda and oral interventions, General Conference and Executive Board

Chapter 9.2.E. of the Human Resources Manual states:

7. Representative associations may make written comments on documents submitted by the Director-General to the General Conference or to the Executive Board when items on the provisional agenda of those bodies concern the terms of employment and working conditions of staff. To that end, those documents are communicated to the associations sufficiently early to enable them to draft their comments, which they submit to the Director-General as quickly as possible so that he/she may in turn prepare the observations that he/she considers necessary. The associations' comments are published in the form of addenda to the relevant documents.

8. Representative associations may also submit their observations orally on matters concerning the terms of employment and working conditions of staff to the appropriate organs of the Executive Board and of the General Conference, subject to the prior agreement of those organs and within the time limits set by them. Requests to speak must be submitted, at least 48 hours before the time set for consideration of the item in question, to the Director-General, who transmits them to the organ concerned, together with any comments of his/her own. However, when such an item is included in the agenda after the deadline, the associations submit their request as soon as they learn of it.
