My question will not be easy to answer. I am retired military and was formerly assigned to a NATO institution. I have since learned that following my retirement, the NATO institution has conducted a seemingly illegal investigation into my personal life (not security, defense or conduct related). Basically this investigation was conducted by two people with whom I had conflict with (due to the manner in which they performed their duties) before I left the institution. If there was cause for such an investigation (there was not), it should have been conducted with the knowledge/ consent/ cooperation of US authorities as I fell under the jurisdiction of the US Army at the time of my assignment. As a result of the investigation, my character has been defamed, my professional reputation damaged and personal information which should have been protected, such as the fact that I am a single man and purchased women's clothes, has been released to several staff members within the institution. What standing do I have to sue NATO or may I take the United States to court due to the fact that the US is a member nation and pays 22% of the NATO budget? I am a resident of TN, live in Europe and the NATO institution is in Poland.
