For instance, capital punishment for premeditated murder, provided for under the Criminal Code, is abolished by transitional Article 13.
Article 15 declared that capital punishment can be imposed only by law in cases of treason during wartime, acts of terrorism and piracy jure gentium, and for repeated murders.
Even in these instances no execution of capital punishment can be carried out unless the Legislative Assembly decides so under the provisions of Article 78.
Restrictions and limitations which may be imposed by law on the exercise of these rights and liberties are set out specifically in each article.
Such restrictions can, generally speaking, be imposed by law for purposes of national security, protection of the rights of others, and for the maintenance of democratic institutions.
