The Tribunal found that the ICTR management was right to comply with the checking out procedures by withholding the Applicant’s checkout since had been part of a committee that had not rendered financial accounts. The Applicant had been a member of an executive committee that had left office without accounting for finances during their tenure which prompted the ICTR management to withhold some of the Applicants entitlements until such accountability is undertaken. Accountability: The Applicant cannot reap a harvest of compensation from his own lack of accountability. He did not deny that he was an executive committee member and a bank signatory in the previous Staff Association’s executive committee which failed to provide a financial report and to conduct a proper handing-over to the succeeding committee.As an elected official the Applicant was responsible and accountable for the management of the affairs and finances of the ICTR Staff Union which elected him to serve. Discharging this responsibility within the Staff Association meant that all elected officers who form part of its executive were accountable, including the Applicant.
