TITLE II — OFFENCES AGAINST INDIVIDUALS
CHAPTER I — OFFENCES AGAINST THE PERSON
246 Homicide and wounds and blows in self defence
There is neither crime nor misdemeanour, where homicide, wounds or blows are commanded by an actual necessity of the lawful defence of oneself or of another person.
247 Interpretation of "self defence"
Actual necessity of defence includes the cases where —
(a) homicide has been committed, or wounds made, or blows inflicted in repelling during the night, the scaling or breaking of the enclosure, wall or entrance of a house, or inhabited apartment, or of the dependencies thereof ;
(b) the act has taken place in defending oneself against the author of any robbery or plunder executed with violence.
1. In addition to other grounds for excluding criminal responsibility provided for in this Statute, a person shall not be criminally responsible if, at the time of that person's conduct:
(c) The person acts reasonably to defend himself or herself or another person or, in the case of war crimes, property which is essential for the survival of the person or another person or property which is essential for accomplishing a military mission, against an imminent and unlawful use of force in a manner proportionate to the degree of danger to the person or the other person or property protected. The fact that the person was involved in a defensive operation conducted by forces shall not in itself constitute a ground for excluding criminal responsibility under this subparagraph;
