Article 3

The privileges and immunities conferred on contract staff members are accorded in the interests of the Institute and not for their personal convenience. They must not be used to avoid private obligations, or as an excuse for failure to observe the relevant national laws or police regulations.

In any incident where such privileges and immunities are involved, the contract staff member concerned shall immediately report the incident to the Director. In the event of infringement of local legislation, the Director may decide to waive the privileges or immunities if he or she deems this necessary.
