I can't make heads or tails of the phrase "la norma [...] no es una prohibición sino un mandato" - the standard (I assume the legal standard) is not a prohibition, but an order? POA? Help! Document is from Argentina
En lo que refiere a la omisión de auxilio-articulo 108 del Código Penal-, refiere "... a una persona herida o inválida o amenazada de un peligro cualquiera, omitiere prestarle el auxilio necesario, cuando pudiere hacerlo sin riesgo personal o no diere aviso inmediatamente a la autoridad".
Se trata de un tipo omisivo ya que la norma que subyace bajo este tipo penal no es una prohibición sino un mandato, germinado en la solidaridad humana en supuestos de peligro para los bienes vida e integridad personal.

Comment: "I appreciate all the answers as they helped me to understand the meaning. However, I really felt that 'imperative' hit the nail on the head. As in the 'moral imperative' to come to the aid of someone in distress. Thanks all!"

mandate [to act]
I think, as you say, it is meant in the sense of an order, as in the definition below, because the law here requires that a person do something rather than not do something, which is normally what laws provide for, especially in civil law jurisdictions:
mandato
5. Gral. Mandamiento, obligación establecida en una disposición o instrucción.
http://dej.rae.es/#/entry-id/E156700
I would translate it with the cognate "mandate" here, as it seems exactly in line with what is meant, but perhaps you could also add "to act" to be more explicit.
mandate
1An official order or commission to do something.
‘a mandate to seek the release of political prisoners’
More example sentencesSynonyms
1.1Law A commission by which a party is entrusted to perform a service, especially without payment and with indemnity against loss by that party
https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/mandate
FYI, "norma" here is not "standard" but "legal precept", "legal principle" or simply "law".
Norma
3. f. Der. Precepto jurídico.

: Not too sure Robert; a mandate implies some sort of authority given by sb to sb else; here I think it's more like a compulsory requirement enshrined in law

Thanks, Chris. Not sure about Canada, but in the US, they have (or used to have at least) the "individual mandate" which compelled people by statute to have health insurance.

Discussion
So it's saying that the law isn't talking about an action that is prohibited or forbidden, but rather a 'mandato' in the sense of an action that is incumbent upon a person - I don't think 'order' would be too far off the mark, in that case. "...an order rooted in human solidarity..."
Best of luck!
