In a number of cases, the allocation of jobs, functions, or the granting of certain authorizations, depends on a check on loyalty, integrity, discretion and more generally, "good character" of a person.

It is, for example, necessary to obtain:

  • a « security clearance » before being entitled to have access to sensitive information
  • a « security certificate » before being entitled to perform certain duties during diplomatic events (for example a European summit) or temporarily access sensitive areas (for example within nuclear infrastructures)
  • a positive security advice in order to be entitled to obtain an airport badge or to apply for Defense

After checking the databases (police, security and/or administrative), these prior authorizations are sometimes refused by the competent authority (administration).

The Appeal Body is the administrative court to which one can turn to lodge an appeal against this decision.
