This note tries to determine the most appropriate way to position international administrative tribunals (established by a number of inter-governmental organizations) in the public international legal order, and identify the substance of the so-called international administrative law applied therein. There is an emerging group of laws arising from numerous international administrative tribunal decisions that form a substantive body of legal rules applicable therein: a law of international civil service. Judges in those tribunals, who look for an appropriate source whenever they face a non-liquet situation, use the concept of international administrative law to overcome such difficulties. Judges should not hide themselves behind an ambiguous notion of international administrative law or general principles, but apply the law of international civil service with confidence.

本说明试图确定国际行政法庭（由多个政府间组织设立）在国际公共法律秩序中的最恰当定位，并确定其中适用的所谓国际行政法的实质。许多国际行政法庭的裁决产生了一组新的法律，这些裁决构成了适用于其中的法律规则的实体主体：国际公务员法。那些法庭的法官，他们在遇到不正当行为时会寻找适当的来源在这种情况下，运用国际行政法的概念来克服这些困难。法官不应将自己隐藏在模糊的国际行政法概念或一般原则之下，而应自信地适用国际公务员法。
