Internal Disciplinary Control is a self-protection mechanism used by the administration to safeguard the principles governing public service, as well as the purposes of the State and the interests of its members. To this end, it relies on disciplinary law, which consists of a series of substantive and procedural rules that allow authorities to “correct, prevent, and sanction” conduct that disregards public service ethics and, in turn, guarantee “obedience, discipline, integrity, and efficiency” among those who have a special relationship with the administration, requiring them to strictly comply with the complex body of regulations governing their conduct as agents of the State.
