BOOK I-GENERAL PART
TITLE II-THE ACT
CHAPTER I-BASES OF PUNISHABILITY
Article 17
Mistake about unlawfulness
1- A person acts without fault when he acts unaware of the unlawfulness of the act, if his mistake is not censurable.
2- If his mistake is censurable, the agent is punished with the sentence applicable to the respective intentional crime, which can be especially mitigated.
2. A mistake of law as to whether a particular type of conduct is a crime within the jurisdiction of the Court shall not be a ground for excluding criminal responsibility. A mistake of law may, however, be a ground for excluding criminal responsibility if it negates the mental element required by such a crime, or as provided for in article 33.
