This government power is exercised by a body of persons who have become charged with the authority of governing.
Government is to use the threat of force or actual force, strictly, and only against those in the community who have chosen to break the law, criminal law, as carefully and as fully defined as is possible.
When, in its legislation, in its use of force, government suppresses the welfare of the individual; when its efforts are aimed to foster the attitude that one should not proceed to please oneself, government commits a fatal error in the achievement of its laudable object, the betterment of the whole.

If the country of origin restricts the export of the products listed in the annex (e.g., cryptographic products), their transit is forbidden if it cannot be proven (e.g., with a license) that the transfer to the new country of destination is in accordance with the legislation of the country of origin.
