Abstract
One of the most important features of the law governing the work relationships of international organization staff is its protective character. Functional protection for staff in cases such as protecting staff from interference, arbitrary actions of governments or even their international organizations or influence, as well as providing functional protection to staff of international organizations in matters relating to immunities or compensation for damages. They are crystallized in their area of rights and organizational duties.
In the case of damage done to the staff of international organizations, the right to exercise Functional protection with organization for staff is recognized, and, on the other hand, the state of the affected employee of the organization can exercise diplomatic protection for his or her nationals. Functional protection by the organization is not a barrier to diplomatic protection, or inherent superiority over the diplomatic protection of a state to support an employee who is a national of his own. So there may be a synchronization between them, which must be resolved in any particular case by an agreement, in which case none of these two types of protection is superior to another at a single time.
