agree  philgoddard: Assignments sounds odd to me, though. It sounds like one-off, short-term tasks. I'd say responsibilities.

(unentziehbare Aufgaben) irrevocable tasks etc.


Explanation:
irrevocable tasks, irrevocable functions, irrevocable responsibilities, irrevocable duties are all acceptable.
("assignments" is rare in English and is wrong)
I go along with "unentziehbare" as the more correct adjective, because "unerziehbare" is nonsense (not a Swiss idiom).
