Secrétariat du Conseil du Trésor du Canada. Le présent document décrit le Régime de rémunération des employés du groupe d'enseignement universitaire (UT), de la catégorie scientifique et professionnelle. Ce régime a pour but de favoriser un rendement optimal en permettant à la haute direction de reconnaître l'expérience des employés du groupe d'enseignement universitaire et de les rémunérer en fonction de leur contribution à la réalisation des objectifs que se fixent les collèges militaires du Canada. Il s'inspire d'un concept de rémunération appliqué par toutes les universités avant-gardistes du Canada et est compatible avec la politique du gouvernement en matière de gestion du personnel. Approuvé le 11 mars 1982 par la délibération 781410 du Conseil du Trésor, le régime donne aux directeurs des collèges la latitude voulue pour recommander, en fonction de l'échelle de rémunération applicable à chaque niveau, des augmentations de traitement fondées sur le mérite et l'ancienneté ainsi que l'attribution de primes de rendement à des professeurs émérites ayant atteint le maximum de l'échelle. 1, record 7, French, - R%C3%A9gime%20d%27administration%20des%20traitements%20%2D%20Groupe%20d%27enseignement%20universitaire

International military tribunals. Military tribunals such as those established for the trial of the major German and Japanese war criminals have made a significant contribution to the development of the law on the duties of the individual in international law, as on aspects of the laws of war. The present-day authority of these judgments, however, rests less on their formulation by a tribunal than on the acceptance of the legal principles underlying the judgments by the General Assembly of the United Nations. 2, record 8, English, - International%20Military%20Tribunal
