Standards of Conduct

Standards of Conduct for the International Civil Service

In 1998, the International Civil Service Commission (ICSC) decided to update the 1954 report of the International Civil Service Advisory Board, entitled Report on the Standards of Conduct in the international civil service.

FICSA participated fully in the working groups and ICSC sessions on the standards, with the goal of balancing staff rights with the numerous duties and obligations included in the text. FICSA expressed disappointment that the final text omitted fundamental labour rights for international civil servants and failed to identify the obligations of the organizations and the Member States to their staff.
