Article 26 Mistake of law
1. A person who, for justifiable reasons, did not know or could not have known that an act was prohibited is not criminally liable.
2.If the mistake was avoidable, the person is criminally liable but the punishment may be reduced.
3. A mistake of law is avoidable if any person could have easily known that the act was unlawful or if the perpetrator, by reason of his or her profession, occupation or service was obliged to know the act was unlawful.
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.
