Section II. A Crime
Article 32. Necessary Self Defence
1. The causation of damage to an assaulting person in one's own defence shall not be considered a crime, that implies cases of the protection of a person, housing, property, land plot, and other rights of a defending person and of other persons, as well as the interests of the society or the state protected by law, from publicly dangerous assault, by way of the causation of damage to an assaulting person, if the limits of necessary defence were not exceeded.
2. All persons in equal measure shall have the right to necessary self-defence, regardless of their professional or other special training, or official position. This right shall belong to a person regardless of whether it is possible to avoid a publicly dangerous assault, or to appeal for help to other persons or state bodies.
3. An obvious discrepancy between measures taken in self-defence and the character and degree of public danger of an assault, as a result of which a given attacker was caused obviously excessive damage, which was not justified by a given situation, shall be recognised as an excess of the limits of necessary self-defence. Such excess shall entail criminal liability only in cases of deliberate causation of harm.
Causation of harm to a person who attempts to kill a person, or when deterring another encroachment associated with the use or an attempt to use arms, shall not be recognised as excess of the limits of necessary defence.
1. Sin perjuicio de las demás circunstancias eximentes de responsabilidad penal establecidas en el presente Estatuto, no será penalmente responsable quien, en el momento de incurrir en una conducta:
(c) Actuare razonablemente en defensa propia o de un tercero o, en el caso de los crímenes de guerra, de un bien que fuese esencial para su supervivencia o la de un tercero o de un bien que fuese esencial para realizar una misión militar, contra un uso inminente e ilícito de la fuerza, en forma proporcional al grado de peligro para él, un tercero o los bienes protegidos. El hecho de participar en una fuerza que realizare una operación de defensa no bastará para constituir una circunstancia eximente de la responsabilidad penal de conformidad con el presente apartado;
