1. Those rules within Torah Law about warnings to Jews who are transgressing any of the 365 negative Jewish commandments, as those warnings are a prerequisite for conviction and punishment by a Jewish Court, only apply during times when there is a functioning Holy Temple on its site in Jerusalem, with an empowered Supreme Sanhedrin of 70 Sages that is holding session in the assigned place adjacent to the Holy Temple. Those are the conditions under which a Supreme Sanhedrin is empowered to try, convict and apply corporal punishment. Those conditions have not been in place since almost 2000 years ago. In the absence of the Holy Temple and an empowered Supreme Sanhedrin, Jewish transgressors are subject to G-d's judgment and judgment by the courts of the ruling power.
2. There is also a requirement for warning to a Gentile before he/she can be tried by an empowered Noahide court for transgression of the Noahide Commandments. Such a court has not existed since early Biblical times, and possibly not at all since the time the Torah was given at Mount Sinai. However, within Torah Law, the warning which applies for a Gentile is not the same as that which applies for a Jew. The warning is that the Gentile must have been intellectually aware that his/her action that violated one of the Noahide Commandments was indeed forbidden.
