Although formally provided for in particular statutes, certain international administrative tribunals continue to hold oral hearings—if at all—only on the rarest of occasions. With specific attention to the International Labour Organization Administrative Tribunal, the present paper aims 1) at recapitulating essential holdings of the European Court of Human Rights with regard to the right to access to a court in the context of employment-related claims against international organizations; and 2) at examining the relevance of oral hearings in the determination of proportionality of organizational immunity. The analysis shows that, in principle, the denial of oral hearings by international administrative tribunals results in the duty of states to afford individuals access to a court. In the realm of international law, a conflict with the obligation to grant immunity ensues. As yet, domestic courts have remained reluctant to overrule immunity on human rights grounds.

尽管正式为特定法规做出了规定，但某些国际行政法庭仅在极少数情况下继续举行口头听证会（如果有的话）。本文特别关注国际劳工组织行政法庭，其目的是：1）概述欧洲人权法院在与国际组织有关的与雇佣有关的诉求中诉诸法院的权利方面的基本财产；2）在确定组织豁免的比例时，审查口头听证的相关性。分析表明，从原则上讲，国际行政法庭拒绝进行口头听证会导致国家有义务使个人有机会诉诸法院。在国际法领域，随后与授予豁免的义务发生冲突。迄今为止，国内法院仍然不愿意基于人权理由推翻豁免。
