CRIMINAL OFFENCE
Manner of Perpetrating Criminal Offence
Article 21
(1) A criminal offence can be perpetrated by an act or an omission to act.
(2) A criminal offence is perpetrated by omission when the perpetrator, who is legally obliged to avert the consequence of a criminal offence defined by law, fails to do so, and such failure to act is tantamount in its effect and significance to the perpetration of such an offence by an act.
