They shall avoid any action and in particular any kind of public pronouncement which may adversely reflect on their status, or on the integrity, independence and impartiality which are required by that status. While they are not expected to give up their national sentiments or their political and religious convictions, they shall at all times bear in mind the reserve and tact incumbent upon them by reason of their international status (see UN Staff Regulation 1.4). 1.4.2 In addition to the UN Staff Regulations, staff shall also be guided by the principles contained in the Report on the Standards of Conduct in the International Civil Service (see Annex 1.E).
