Article 3 Privileges and immunities

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

In any incident where those privileges and immunities are involved, the 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 deems it necessary.
