  Article 15-The assumption of pre-knowledge of the code of conduct  
15.1 The assumption of pre-knowledge of the code of conduct  
  In estimating civil responsibility as part of the preparation of any civil case and/or claim including any possible 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 African 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 or civil proceedings.
