CHAPTER I SECTION I
RULES OF ETHICS
I - The dignity, decorum, the zeal, efficiency and awareness of the moral princi
ples are primed values that must guide the public servant, whether in office or
function or outside, since that will reflect the exercise of the vocation of the
state itself . Their actions, behaviors and attitudes will strive to uphold the
honor and tradition of public services. II - The public servant must never disr
egard the ethical aspects of conduct. Thus, not only will have to decide between
legal and illegal, just and unjust, convenient and inconvenient, fit and unfit,
but mainly between honest and dishonest, according to the rules: (Article 37, c
aput and § 4, CF). - The direct and indirect public administration of any of th
e powers of the Union of States, the Federal District and municipalities will fo
llow the principles of lawfulness, impersonality, morality, publicity and effici
ency (CLEAN)
- Acts of administrative dishonesty in the suspension of political rights, the l
oss of public, non-availability of goods and indemnification to the exchequer in
the form and gradation provided by law, without prejudice to criminal appropria
te.
III - The morality of government is not limited to the distinction between good
and evil, it must be added the idea that the end is always the common good. The
balance between the legality and purpose in the conduct of public servants, it m
ight strengthen the morality of the administrative act. IV - The remuneration of
civil servants is supported by the taxes paid directly or indirectly by all, ev
en by himself, and therefore requires, in return, that morality is consistent wi
th administrative law, as an inseparable element of your application and its pur
pose, erecting himself, as a consequence, in a factor of legality. V - The work
of the public servant to the community must be understood as an addition to thei
r own welfare, since, as a citizen member of society, the success of this work c
an be regarded as its greatest asset. VI - The public should be considered a pro
fession and therefore falls within the private life of every public servant. Thu
s, the facts and acts recorded in the conduct of day-to-day in his private life
may increase or decrease your good concept in functional life. VII - Except in c
ases of national security, police investigations or interests of the State and P
ublic Administration, to be preserved in the process previously declared confide
ntial, in accordance with law, advertising of any administrative act is a requir
ement of efficiency and morality, being their omission ethical commitment agains
t the common good, attributable to those who deny. VIII - Everyone has the right
to truth. The server can not omit it or falsify it, even against the interests
of the interested party or public administration. No state can grow or stabilize
themselves on the corruptive power by misconduct, oppression or lie, always ann
ihilating even more the dignity of a nation. IX - Common courtesy, good will, an
d time dedicated to public service effort to characterize the discipline. Mistre
at a person who pays taxes, direct or indirect means to cause him damage. Likewi
se, damage to any property belonging to public property, deteriorating it, by ca
relessness or ill will, is not only an insult to the equipment and facilities or
the state but to all men of good will who have devoted their intelligence , the
ir time, their hopes and efforts to build them.

X - Let the public servant anyone waiting for a solution to the racing industry

d of delay in providing the service, not only is the attitude toward ethics or a
ct of inhumanity but mostly serious material damage to the users of public servi
ces.€XI - The server must give all his attention to the lawful orders of his su
periors, watching carefully for compliance and, thus, avoiding the negligent con
duct. The repeated mistakes, neglect and the accumulation of deviations becomes

place is demoralizing to the public service, which almost always leads to disord
er in human relations. XIII - The server that works in harmony with the organiza
tional structure, respecting their colleagues and fellow citizens, contribute an
d everyone can get cooperation, because his public activity is the greatest oppo
rtunity for growth and enhancement of the Nation.
