Sanctions

The application of sanctions and punishments must take into account the seriousness of the offense, the effect(s) resulting therefrom, and recurrence. In the case of violations that involve unlawful activities or those that may cause damage to the organization, the offender shall be held liable for the losses, with the application of the relevant legal measures.
