The authors explore the rules governing the burden and standard of proof in international administrative law, both from a general perspective and in specific contexts such as termination for misconduct, harassment, retaliation, performance and promotions, and service-incurred illnesses. They compare the rules applied by various international administrative tribunals with those applied by courts in domestic jurisdictions. They conclude that some international organizations should review their rules in the interest of coherence, and revert back to a contextualized application of the usual civil standard of proof instead of applying different standards depending on the circumstances.

作者探讨了国际行政法中关于举证责任和举证标准的规则，从一般角度和具体情况来看，例如因不当行为、骚扰、报复、绩效和晋升以及因公患病而被解雇。他们将各种国际行政法庭适用的规则与国内司法管辖区的法院适用的规则进行了比较。他们得出的结论是，一些国际组织应该为了连贯性而审查其规则，并恢复到对通常的民事证明标准的情境化应用，而不是根据情况应用不同的标准。
