| 14.1 | The concept of a military offence | |
| Military Offence is defined as an act or the commission of an act that is either (a) forbidden by military law or (b) the omission of a duty that is commanded by military law enacted and in force by the instruments of the constitution of the Americas Union. |
||
| The definition of a offence, its category in terms of seriousness and associated punishments shall be defined as a this military code. |
||
| 14.2 | The existence of military offences | |
| That laws are made means there will always people and institutions that breach them. The degree to which laws are breached is a balance between the general fair purpose and intention of the law and is enforcement. |
||
| Strong and fair laws not enforced will result in higher offence. Unjust and unfair laws will result in high offence even if tough enforcement measures are in place. |
||
| A goal of the constitution of Americas Union, this Code and of all laws created as a result of it shall be to ensure the lowest possible rate of offence through a balance of fair law and fair enforcement. |
