Apstrakt

Članak istražuje kako su konstitutivni instrumenti i sekundarna pravila tri odabrane regionalne međuvladine organizacije u jugoistočnoj Evropi (Energetska zajednica, Transportna zajednica, Regionalna škola za javnu upravu) inkorporisali neke ključne pravne institute koji se odnose na status međunarodnih službenika – profesionalnu nezavisnost međunarodnih službenika i isključivost međunarodne službe; standarde zapošljavanja; i pravne lekove za zaštitu prava međunarodnih službenika. Ovaj članak, pre svega, definiše pojam međunarodne državne službe, a na osnovu pravnih tekstova nekoliko različitih međunarodnih organizacija i akademskih radova istražuje međunarodnu praksu u regulisanju navedenih instituta. Članak zatim analizira i procenjuje kako su ovi koncepti obrađeni u relevantnim pravnim dokumentima odabranih regionalnih organizacija. Konačno, u članku se zaključuje da istraženi pravni tekstovi pružaju normativne i institucionalne garancije profesionalne nezavisnosti i sadrže razrađena pravila o zapošljavanju u cilju odabira kvalifikovanog osoblja i obezbeđivanja ravnomerne geografske zastupljenosti unutar sekretarijata. Međutim, određeni nedostaci su identifikovani i objašnjeni u vezi sa postojanjem adekvatnih pravnih lekova za zaštitu osoblja, posebno kroz sudske postupke.
