"1. Puisque la vertu a rapport aux passions et aux actions, qu'on loue et blâme ce qui émane de notre volonté, tandis qu'on ne refuse pas son pardon et parfois même sa pitié à ce qui est accompli sans volonté de choix, peut-être est-il nécessaire de déterminer, puisque notre examen porte sur la vertu, ce qui est volontaire et ce qui est involontaire.

2. Du reste, cette étude ne manquera pas d'être utile aussi aux législateurs chargés de fixer les récompenses et les peines.

3. A ce qu'il semble, sont involontaires les actes accomplis par contrainte ou s'accompagnant d'ignorance. Un acte forcé est celui dont le principe est extérieur à nous-mêmes et tel que l'agent ou le patient n'y participe en rien, par exemple quand un vent violent ou des gens, maîtres de notre vie, nous transportent en quelque endroit.

4. Pour toutes les actions que nous exécutons par crainte de maux plus grands ou en vue d'une belle fin, on peut discuter la question de savoir si elles sont volontaires ou non; prenons par exemple le cas d'un tyran, qui, maître de la vie de nos parents et de nos enfants, nous enjoindrait de faire un acte honteux, en y mettant la condition que l'exécution sauverait les nôtres, tandis que le refus entraînerait leur mort.

5. Ce cas n'est pas sans analogie avec celui d'une cargaison jetée à la mer au cours d'une tempête; en général, personne ne perd de son plein gré sa cargaison; on s'y résigne pour sauver sa propre vie et celle des autres, comme le font tous ceux qui sont sains d'esprit.

6. Ainsi donc de telles actions ne revêtent pas un caractère bien net; néanmoins elles ressemblent davantage à des décisions volontaires. Car, au moment où on les exécute, elles sont délibérément voulues. D'autre part, la fin de l'acte est déterminée par les circonstances. Ainsi il faut préciser le degré de volonté dans l'acte qui s'accomplit. En de telles circonstances, c'est volontairement que l'homme agit; la cause qui fait mouvoir ses organes réside en lui; or avoir en soi-même le principe de ses actes, c'est avoir aussi en soi la possibilité de les exécuter ou non. De telles actions sont donc volontaires; mais, absolument parlant, peut-être dira-t-on aussi qu'elles sont involontaires : car nul ne souhaiterait exécuter des actes de cette nature pour eux-mêmes.

7. Parfois même, on loue une conduite de cette sorte, quand c'est en vue de grands et beaux résultats qu'on supporte ce qui est honteux et affligeant.  Dans le cas contraire, on n'obtient que le blâme. Car supporter la honte totale pour un acte sans beauté ou pour un faible profit est le fait d'un coeur méprisable. Parfois, ce qu'on obtient, ce n'est pas l'éloge, mais le pardon; c'est le cas lorsqu'il s'agit de faits qu'on réprouve, mais qui dépassent les forces de la nature humaine et que personne ne pourrait endurer.

8. Parfois, peut-être, est-il des cas où il ne faut pas céder à la force, où il vaut mieux mourir en endurant d'horribles supplices. En effet, les motifs qui poussent le personnage d'Alcméon, chez Euripide, à tuer sa mère sont, de l'aveu de tous, ridicules.

9. Il est donc parfois difficile de déterminer quelle conduite tenir de préférence à une autre, quels maux supporter plutôt que tels autres, et il est encore plus difficile de s'en tenir à sa décision. C'est qu'en général ce à quoi on s'attend est pénible et ce à quoi on est contraint, déshonorant. De là les blâmes et les éloges, selon que l'on a été contraint ou non à agir."

10. À quoi donc reconnaître le cas de force majeure ? Est-ce tout simplement le cas d'une cause extérieure à nous et lorsque l'exécutant n'a aucune intention de prendre part à l'action ? Certains actes sont par eux-mêmes involontaires; mais, dans telle circonstance, on les préfère à d'autres, et alors la cause réside dans l'exécutant. Par eux-mêmes ils restent involontaires; mais ils deviennent volontaires par ce choix momentané. Aussi ressemblent-ils plutôt aux actes volontaires; car les actions ont rapport avec les circonstances particulières et ces dernières comportent une intervention de la volonté. Mais sur le choix à faire de préférence à un autre, il n'est pas facile de s'expliquer, car les cas particuliers présentent beaucoup de différences.

11. Et si l'on venait à dire que ce qui est agréable et beau comporte la contrainte — car, l'agréable et le beau étant extérieurs à nous, nous nous verrions alors contraints —, tout, dans ces conditions, impliquerait une pareille contrainte. Car c'est en vue de ces fins que tous les hommes accomplissent tous leurs actes. Et, à la vérité, une partie d'entre eux, contraints et forcés, n'agissent qu'à contre-coeur, dans le cas de la peine, tandis que d'autres, se proposant l'agréable et le bien, éprouvent du plaisir. Il serait donc ridicule d'incriminer ce qui nous est extérieur et non notre propre personne, facilement séduite par ces avantages du dehors, et de s'attribuer le mérite des belles actions, en reportant sur l'attrait du plaisir la responsabilité de nos actes honteux.

12. Il semble bien qu'on appelle acte forcé celui dont le principe est hors de nous et auquel l'agent ne participe en rien." (pp. 65-67)

"Art. 33 l
Necessity/Coercion or Duress

1. Necessity excludes punishment when the person, by reason of circumstances beyond his control likely to create an otherwise unavoidable private or public harm, engages in conduct to avoid the imminent greater harm likely to be produced by such circumstances, but not likely to produce death.

2. Necessity can also result from coercion or duress which a person would reasonably be unable to resist.

3. Military necessity may exclude punishment only as provided by the international law of armed conflict." (p. 52)

"Necessity
Article 30
(1) There shall be no criminal offense when the perpetrator has acted in order to avert from himself or from another an imminent danger which could not have been averted in any other way, provided that in doing so a lesser harm was done than that which had been threatened.

(2) The perpetrator is not culpable if he has committed an illegal act in order to avert from himself or from another an imminent danger which could not have been averted in any other way, provided that in doing so the harm that is done is not disproportionally greater than that which had been threatened.

(3) If, in the case referred to in paragraph 2 of this Article, the perpetrator  was avoidably mistaken about the circumstances which exclude culpability, he shall be punished for negligence if, for the committed offense, the Code prescribes punishment for negligence.

(4) The defense of necessity is not available if the perpetrator was obligated to expose himself to danger.


Coercion or Threat
Article 31
(1) There shall be no criminal offense when the perpetrator acts under the influence of irresistible coercion.

(2) If the perpetrator commits a criminal offense under resistible coercion or threat, the provisions of Article 30 of this Code shall apply, treating such coercion or threat as a danger."

"Philosophers of the criminal law have come up with three different theories, each of which purports to offer a deeper account of when and why the criminal law excuses. According to one account – the causal theory – we excuse a wrongdoer if and when factors outside of his control caused his actions. Another – the character theory – holds that we excuse a wrongdoer if and when his wrongdoing was out of character. Still another – the choice theory – holds that we excuse a wrongdoer if his choice to commit the act was not a free choice. In the final analysis, none of these theories successfully explains the existing law of excuse, but the choice theory comes closest." (p. 285; one note omitted; the author goes on to examine each of the three theories)

"The 'reasonable person' plays an important role in English and American criminal law, but not in German criminal law. The comparative view yields a number of differences (for example, with respect to negligent crimes, errors about justifying circumstances, and excuses like duress). Besides analyzing such differences, the article examines the legitimate role of social expectations in criminal law (which stand behind references to the "reasonable person") beyond the details of different legal systems. It concludes that one must distinguish judgments about wrongdoing from judgments about personal responsibility. The former are shaped by social expectations, while personal responsibility needs to be evaluated with a view to the individual offender." (p. 1)

"A distinct ground of excuse is compulsion. The order was wrongful; the inferior knew or ought to have known it; but he was   under constraint and had no choice but to obey. Here it seems that, in order to amount to a good excuse, the constraint must be overpowering. There must be fear of death or of some evil comparable to it in gravity, such fear as a man of ordinary courage cannot resist: 'qui cadit in constantem virum' as the Roman lawyers said. The mere habit of obedience and disposition to obey which are the result of discipline will not justify plainly criminal acts." (pp. 197-198).

"This article evaluates certain requirements of the defence of duress under s 94 of the Penal Code (Cap 224, 1985 Rev Ed) which involve matters of time and space. The thrust of the evaluation is that close adherence to the underlying rationale of the defence promotes a liberal approach towards the interpretation and application of these requirements. Relying on comparisons with the laws of other jurisdictions, it is contended that the requirement of instant harm should be removed from s 94; that it is correct for s 94 not to require the coercer’s presence; and that elucidation is needed under s 94 on the requirement to escape."
