News Brief: IMF Publishing Staff Ethics, Financial Disclosure and Dispute Resolution Information on Public Website

February 15, 2001


    The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has established a section on its public website (http://www.imf.org/hrd/index.htm) dedicated to highlighting guidelines and issues related to staff ethics, financial disclosure and dispute resolution.

    The section, which was created as part of the IMF's continuing commitment to enhanced transparency in its operations, contains electronic links to the codes of ethical conduct and financial disclosure rules that IMF staff and Executive Directors must observe. The terms of reference for the IMF's Ethics Officer and Ombudsperson are also available through this section of the public website.

    In addition to publication of the ethical codes and standards of the IMF, judgments, orders and other information related to the dispute resolution activities of the IMF Administrative Tribunal are also now published on the Fund's public website.

    The AdministrativeTribunal, which was established on January 13, 1994, provides a judicial forum for the resolution of employment disputes arising between staff members and the IMF.
