Ucadian Military Code
  
     
  The Ucadian Military Code is the most advanced and comprehensive military code of law ever devised in human history. Not only does it incorporate the traditional areas considered in military conduct relating to the behaviour of military personnel, but addresses the legal rights, position of enemy combatants and in particular terrorist suspects.  
  Under the Ucadian Military Code, for the first time in history, a state may pursue enemy combatants found to have undertaken criminal acts during conflict, particularly acts considered especially heinous.  
  In addition, the Ucadian Military Code is the first legal framework in history that defines the legal rights of non-combatants during conflict and the responsibilities and liabilities of a military force during such action.  
  The Ucadian Military Code therefore is the first legal framework in human history that addresses the issue of urban and conflict terrorism and enables the separation of anti-terrorist action from the need to compromise the values and rights of a general non-combatant population.  
22.35.1 Structure of the Military Code
