Public Civil Service Law acknowledges a firmly grounded duty to obey, which is subject to a number of exceptions, including a duty or right to disobey. However, the duo obedience-disobedience includes a number of paradoxes resulting from the opposition between two contradictory requirements : to protect the administration if necessary against disobedience and to protect the civil servant, possibly by obeying an order that should have been ignored.
