Objectives:
The objectives of these rules are to guide the conduct of government business, promote transparency, accountability, and ethical standards, and establish, update, and manage the conditions of service, discipline, and efficiency of public servants, through a regulatory framework.
Restitution Measures:
The Federal Public Service Rules (PSR) are applied in conjunction with the National Commission for Museums and Monuments (NCMM) Act. They prescribe the ethical, administrative, and legal standards for public officials in charge of cultural heritage, and inform the procedures and protocols for handling, reporting, and overseeing the custody of repatriated material heritage to ensure national ownership and preservation.
Limitations:
These rules often emphasise rigid bureaucracy (red tape) over efficiency and innovation, which can be limiting to the adaptability that is required in restitution negotiations.
