Police Force Act, 23/11/1959, updated in 1991. Part VIII General Offences Section 56: "Nothing in this act shall exempt any person from being proceeded against under any other Act or law in respect of any offence made punishable by this act, or from being liable under any other Act or law to any other or higher penalty or punishment […] Provided that no person shall be punished twice for the same offence". Defence Act, 1/01/1981. Laws of Seychelles 1996. Section 6.1: "It shall be the duty of a member of the Defence Force to obey the lawful orders of the Commander-in-Chief, the Chief of the Defence Force and the Chief of Staff of the Defence Force; and any other member of the Defence Force who holds a rank superior […]". 4: "An order which is inconsistent with the laws and usages of war is not a lawful order for the purposes of this section". Defence Forces (Offences) Act, 1/01/1981. Laws of Seychelles 1996. First Schedule, Part A Paragraph 6.1: "A person subject to this Act who commits a civil offence is guilty of an offence against this Act and is liable on conviction before a court-martial […]" 3: "In this paragraph "civil offence" means an offence under any law other than this Act". The second type of obligation in the African Charter (equal protection of the law) is guaranteed in first place, through Clause (2) of the same Article 27, which, by introducing an exception, protects the disadvantaged groups. "Clause (1) shall not preclude any law, programme or activity which has as its object the amelioration of the conditions of disadvantaged persons or groups". The following Articles of the Constitution are example of it: Article 30: "The State […] take appropriate measures to ensure that a working mother is afforded special protection with regards to paid leave and the working conditions during […] the period […] before and after childbirth". Article 31. "The State recognises the right of children and young persons to special protection in view of their immaturity and vulnerability […]". Article 36. "The State recognises the right of the aged and the disabled to special protection […]". Secondly, the implementation of this right can be seen in all the legislation, specially, for example in the employment legislation, in the social security system, education facilities, health care and protection of the family, amongst others.
