2. Code of conduct

| Article 19-The assumption of pre-knowledge of the code of conduct | ||
| 19.1 | The assumption of pre-knowledge of the code of conduct | |
| In estimating criminal responsibility as part of the preparation of criminal charges and the prosecution of offenders in the courts, the assumption of pre-knowledge of the code of conduct shall always apply. | ||
| That is, being either a citizen or a visitor to Americas Union, it is assumed that such a person has prior knowledge and understanding of the expected good code of conduct of a person. Therefore ignorance of the rules of good conduct shall never be permitted as a justifiable defence in criminal proceedings. | ||
