Özet:

 In addition to the rights they have, the officers also have obligations to comply with. As an obligation, officers are required to comply with the rules to ensure the internal discipline of the administration they work for. Otherwise, it is possible that a disciplinary investigation will be opened against them by the administration and they may be punished with disciplinary punishment as a result of this investigation. Although the administration has the authority to open a disciplinary investigation against the officer and to impose a disciplinary punishment on the officer at the end of the investigation, there are many procedural rules that must be followed before imposing a disciplinary punishment. One of these procedural rules, and perhaps the most important, is that the officer is given the right to defend himself before imposing a disciplinary penalty. Thanks to his right of defense, the officer will reveal that he did not actually commit a disciplinary offense and he will not be punished. Or, he will reveal that he has committed a lighter disciplinary offense than he is charged with, and he will be given a lighter disciplinary punishment. There are many principles that the administration must comply with in order for the civil servant to fully exercise his right of defense. First of all, a disciplinary investigation should be opened against the officer, the officer must be charged by the administration, the demands of the officer for the information and documents and other means of proof that he will need while making his defense must be met, the officer should be informed that if he does not make a defense, he will be deemed to have waived his right to defense, the officer should be given sufficient time to defend himself, the defense of the officer must be taken by the disciplinary chief andor the high disciplinary board and taking a statement should not be considered as taking a defense.

 Memurların sahip oldukları hakların yanı sıra uyması gereken yükümlülükleri de bulunmaktadır. Bir yükümlülük olarak memurların görev yaptıkları idarenin kurum içi disiplinini sağlamaya yönelik kurallara uymaları gerekmektedir. Aksi takdirde idare tarafından haklarında disiplin soruşturması açılması ve bu soruşturma neticesinde disiplin cezasıyla cezalandırılmaları mümkündür. İdarenin memur hakkında disiplin soruşturması açmak ve soruşturmanın sonunda memura disiplin cezası verme yetkisi bulunmakla birlikte disiplin cezası vermeden önce takip etmesi gereken birçok usul kuralı bulunmaktadır. Bu usul kurallarından birisi ve belki de en önemlisi disiplin cezası vermeden önce memura kendisini savunma hakkı tanınmasıdır. Memur savunma hakkı sayesinde aslında bir disiplin suçu işlemediğini ortaya koyacak ve kendisine disiplin cezası verilmeyecektir. Ya da disiplin suçu işlemiş olmakla beraber kendisine isnat edilenden daha hafif bir disiplin suçu işlediğini ortaya koyacak ve kendisine daha hafif bir disiplin cezası verilecektir. İdarenin memurun savunma hakkını tam anlamıyla kullanabilmesi için uyması gereken birçok esas bulunmaktadır. Öncelikle memur hakkında bir disiplin soruşturması açılmalı, idare tarafından memura isnatta bulunulmalı, memurun savunmasını yaparken ihtiyaç duyacağı bilgi ve belgelere ve diğer ispat araçlarına yönelik talepleri karşılanmalı, memura savunma yapmadığı takdirde savunma hakkından vazgeçmiş sayılacağı bildirilmeli, memura kendisini savunması için yeterli süre verilmeli, memurun savunması disiplin amiri veveya yüksek disiplin kurulu tarafından alınmalı ve ifade alma savunma alma olarak kabul edilmemelidir.
