Armed Forces Disciplinary Punishment Act Article 10

A servicemember shall be obligated to comply with the order bearing the instruction on the mandate of the office issued by the competent authority. In the event that the servicemember regards the order in contravention of laws, he/she should express his/her opinion to the competent authority. If the competent authority considers his/her order as not inconsistent with laws and issues the order in the written form, the servicemember shall immediately comply. Any liability incurred by the execution of the order will be borne by such competent authority.Whereas the order in the preceding Paragraph is in contravention of laws of criminal nature, unless it is a justifiable recourse to the use of force otherwise provided by law, any servicemember is not obligated to comply with such order. Whereas the servicemember is aware of the fact that the order is in contravention of laws of criminal nature while not a justifiable recourse to the use of force otherwise provided by law yet executes such order, the commission of offenses stipulated by laws of criminal nature is punishable.
