Abstract

Objectives: This study aims to elucidate the disciplinary violations، sanctions، and authorities responsible for discipline within the General Security Agency، along with the guarantees of disciplinary action. It also addresses the statutes of limitations، pardons، and the suspension of criminal penalties in relation to disciplinary measures.

Methods: The study utilizes descriptive، inductive، and analytical approaches to examine the subject from both legislative and practical perspectives.

Results: Although the prohibitions listed in Article (36) of the Public Security Law are of a disciplinary nature، the legislator intended to elevate them from disciplinary actions to the level of military misdemeanors، viewing them as breaches of military order and a deviation from professional duties. The study also concludes that the statute of limitations for the subsidiary penalty (non-promotion)، as stated in Article (28/z) of the Public Security Law، is enforced after the prescribed period following a sentence of imprisonment or a fine.

Conclusion: The study recommends amending Clause (14) of Article (36) of the Public Security Law concerning the authority responsible for adjudicating violations to designate the Director or their delegate. Furthermore، it suggests that the statute of limitations for disciplinary violations، the effects of disciplinary sanctions، and the sanctions themselves should be explicitly addressed in the Public Security Law.
