《刑法典》第308 条涉及了滥用职权。尽管《公约》将可预见的所有元素都包括在内，但有人指出，就滥用职权构成刑事犯罪而言，根据第308 条，“重大损害”必须是对“自然人或法人的权利和合法权益，以及社会或国家受法律保护的权益”的重大损害。
Abuse of functions is addressed in section 308 of the Penal Code. While all elements foreseen in the Convention are covered, it was noted that under section 308 “substantial damage” must accrue “to the rights and legal interests of natural or legal persons, legally protected interests of society or state” for abuse of functions to be constituted as a criminal offence.
