Abstract
The Global Fund to Fight aids, Tuberculosis and Malaria (Global Fund) is a unique multilateral institution: originally conceived as a public-private partnership, it was established as a not-for-profit foundation under Swiss law, before gradually evolving into an international organization. The Global Fund Secretariat is based in Geneva and is composed of some 780 employees. This chapter examines the role international administrative law has played in the effective and efficient functioning of the Global Fund. The genesis of the Global Fund, its institutional features and governance structures are presented in Section 1 and the initial administrative arrangements concluded between the Global Fund and the World Health Organization to enable the Global Fund to conduct its operations are discussed in Section 2. Sections 3 and 4 examine the internationalization of the status of the Global Fund through the prisms of the privileges and immunities of the organization and its officials, and the resolution mechanisms of employment-related disputes, respectively. Considerations regarding the legal framework applicable to Global Fund employees are also addressed.
