''LIVRE 1ER : DES PEINES, DISPOSITIONS PRELIMINAIRES, ARTICLE 3''
Toute tentative de crime, manifestée par un commencement d'exécution et suspendue
ou n’ayant manqué son effet que par des circonstances indépendantes de la volonté de son auteur,
est considérée comme le crime lui-même.
Les tentatives de délit ne sont considérées comme délits que dans les cas déterminés par
une disposition spéciale de la loi.
3. In accordance with this Statute, a person shall be criminally responsible and liable for punishment for a crime within the jurisdiction of the Court if that person:
(f) Attempts to commit such a crime by taking action that commences its execution by means of a substantial step, but the crime does not occur because of circumstances independent of the person's intentions. However, a person who abandons the effort to commit the crime or otherwise prevents the completion of the crime shall not be liable for punishment under this Statute for the attempt to commit that crime if that person completely and voluntarily gave up the criminal purpose.
