THE CONDITIONS OF LEGITIMATE SELF-DEFENSE

Summary/Abstract: Legitimate defense is invoked as a justifiable cause when a person subjected to an aggression responds with force. It is considered to be lawful or permitted in circumstances that imply, on the one hand, the attack or aggression (which generates the legitimate defense) and, on the other hand, the defense or the retaliation (a deed committed in defense). As a consequence, the act committed in legitimate defense does not entail the criminal liability of the offender, as it was constrained by the need to eliminate the aggression that undermined the protected social values, and neither the civil liability for the damage suffered by the attacker.
