Abstract

This chapter describes the origin and structure of European Organization for Nuclear Research. The European Organization for Nuclear Research has evolved from the Conseil européen pour la recherche nucléaire (CERN) and the organization has retained the acronym CERN. The Council is the decision-making organ of CERN. It consists of instructed representatives of the member states and two vice presidents on not more than two consecutive occasions. The Council, by a two-thirds majority vote of all the member states, appoints a Director General to head each of the eleven laboratories for a defined period. The directors are the chief executives of personnel. The Organization is financed by the contributions of the member states in accordance with scales decided every three years by the council. CERN is an intergovernmental organization with functionally limited tasks. It has legal personality in the metropolitan territories of the member states and enjoys legal capacity under public international law.
