English to Spanish Other International Org/Dev/Coop Delegation of authority

Buenas noches,

Tengo una consulta relacionada con el término que aparece en el siguiente texto:

Conflict of Interest

A delegation of power or authority cannot exist if the person or Committee holding the delegation would gain or could be perceived as gaining an advantage for themselves or for another organization or person in which they have an interest, per the Organization´s Conflict of Interest Policy.

In such circumstances, the conflicted delegate must refer the decision to the **next most senior position** and must not exercise the delegated authority without the counter signature of this position

My try:

"En dichas circunstancias, el delegado en conflicto debe remitir la decisión al ***siguiente cargo/posición de mayor jerarquía***" y no debe ejercer la facultad delegada sin la segunda firma de este cargo/posición.
