- adrianN 7y agoI believe they mean that prohibiting something that is illegal is unnecessary.
- Joker_vD 7y agoOn the contrary, you prohibit exactly "unlawful <sort of action>", e.g. "unlawful consumption of narcotics". That means that what exactly constitutes unlawfulness of such acts is a part of a different law, and usually not even a law, but a by-law or a regulation. For example, look at the German penal code, title 184f, "Ausübung der verbotenen Prostitution" — it's literally "Practicing illegal prostitution", and it's worded that way because there is also legal one.
- yfzhou 7y agoIf you just say "prohibit trade of wild animals", that would imply China just outlawed all trade related to wild animals while the news is actually about a decision to absolutely enforce existing laws.
