French nationality shall be lost by any French person who, being employed in a foreign army or public service or in an international organisation to which France does not belong or more generally providing assistance to them, has not resigned his employment or ceased his assistance notwithstanding the injunction made to him by the Government.
The person concerned will, by decree of the Council of State, be declared to have lost French nationality if, within the period set by the injunction, which period may not be less than fifteen days and not more than two months, he has not terminated his activity.
When the opinion of the Council of State is unfavourable, the measure provided for in the previous paragraph may only be taken by decree of the Council of Ministers.
