Question juridique clé
Whether the direct public-law appeal was admissible against the Geneva order on financial aid to foreigners without regular residence status.
Solution extraite
No. Because the order was not properly published and could not validly enter into force as a generally binding legislative act, and because it functioned only as an internal administrative instruction whose effects could be challenged through ordinary review of individual decisions, there was no protected interest justifying direct federal review.
Motifs extraits
Official publication was a prerequisite for enforceability. The order at most had reflex effects on individuals and did not escape effective judicial review, since concrete aid decisions were open to cantonal appeal.
