Abstract
"This comment provides an overview of the Tort Doctrine of self defense. The majority and minority rules are discussed as well exceptions to those rules. The authors speculate that this doctrine might be applicable to those who kill abortionists. However they recognize that this is not an acceptable argument under the current status of the law. This article provides an excellent review of this doctrine for those in criminal law courses or those preparing for the bar.

Les mesures prises par des Membres dans l'exercice de ce droit de légitime défense sont immédiatement portées à la connaissance du Conseil de sécurité et n'affectent en rien le pouvoir et le devoir qu'a le Conseil, en vertu de la présente Charte, d'agir à tout moment de la manière qu'il juge nécessaire pour maintenir ou rétablir la paix et la sécurité internationales."

"§  1 La cause d'excuse absolutoire

Bien qu'un même type de dispositions soit donc présent dans plusieurs codes pénaux, nous choisirons le Code pénla néerlandais pour illustrer notre propos.

L'article 41.2 dudit Code prévoit:
"N'est pas punissable le dépassement des limites de la défense nécessaire, si ce dépassement a été en conséquence immédiate d'une émotion causée par l'agression".

La personne qui en se défendant dépasse donc les limites de la défense nécessaire parce qu'elle se trouvait sous le coup d'une émotion violente, conséquence directe de l'agression, peut bénéficier d'une cause d'excuse absolutoire, "l'excès de légitime défense".  En d'autres termes, la personne n'a pas agi conformément à la législation; son comportement est illégal, mais elle est néanmoins excusée "pour son dépassement de l'acceptable, de la proportionnalité et de la subsidiarité"92.

[...]

L'application de l'article 41.2 requiert, par ailleurs, l'existence d'une situation de légitime défense94 et d'un double lien de causalité.  Le dépassement des limites de la légitime défense doit être la conséquence d'une émotion violente qui, elle-même, doit avoir été causée par l'agression.  L'émotion violente peut, quant à elle, consister en un sentiment d'anxiété, de crainte ou d'affolement ("angst, vrees of radelooheid"), mais elle peut être également un sentiment de colère, d'indignation ou d'emportement ("woede, verontwaadiging of drift")"95.
-----------
[...]
92 (P. DE HERT & P.P.J. VAN DER METY, op. cit., p. 37)
À comparer au § 33 du Code pénal allemand, qui dispose:
"§ 33. L'auteur qui dépasse les limites de la légitime défense n'est pas sanctionné s'il peut invoquer l'émotion, la peur ou l'affolement".

Le § 33 agit comme cause elisive de culpabilité ("Schudausschlieungsgrund") contrairement au § 32, qui vise la légitime défense, cause de justification ("Rechtfertigunsgrund").  Tout sentiment d'angoisse ne peut nécessairement être assimilé à la peur au sens du § 33.  L'accès de colère ou l'impulsion n'entrent pas en considération.  La capacité de percevoir correctement la situation de l'auteur de l'acte doit toutefois avoir sensiblement diminué.  En tout état de cause, c'est au juge qu'il appartient d'évaluer la situation". (H. TRONDLE, T. FISCHER, op. cit, p. 282).

[    ...]

94 Excéder les limites de la légitime défense implique, en effet, qu'au départ, on se soit trouvé à l'intérieur des limites de ces dernières (C.P.M. CLEIREN, J.F. NIJBOER, op. cit., p. 205.

95 Pour une application concrète de l'excès de légitime défense, on citera le cas de ce septuagénaire, toujours armé depuis qu'il fut victime par le passé d'une agression, et qui, après avoir entendu proférer les paroles "dit it een roofoverbal", alors qu'il se trouvait sur sa propriété, se retourna, aperçut deux agresseurs et, effrayé, tira en direction du premier malfrat.  Le tribunal estima qu'il se trouvait, en l'espèce, en présence d'une menace physique, que, vu son âge et son état de santé, il n'avait pas la possibilité de prendre la fuite, et qu'eu égard au caractère retiré du terrain, il n'y avait pas moyen d'appeler au secours.  Si les conditions de la défense nécessaire étaient bien remplies, le tribunal estima néanmoins que les limites en avaient été dépassées, dès lors que la personne menacée, qui n'avait pas aperçu de couteau chez ses agresseurs, aurait pu tirer en l'air à titre d'avertissement.  Le tribunal fut par ailleurs d'avis que ce dépassement des limites de la défense nécessaire fut une conséquence immédiate d'une émotion violente causée par l'agression (angoisse, panique et vraisemblablement colère).  L'usage de l'arme, bien qu'illégalement détenue, fut dans ce cas excusé et l'homme, bien qu'ayant commis un fait punissable, ne fut pas condamné de ce chef.  Il fut néanmoins condamné pour détention illégale d'arme (LJN: AP0198, Rechtbank's -Gravenhage, 27.5.2004, 09.757788-03)."

"Summary: In October 2003, the Law Commission ("LC") published a detailed Consultation Paper, Partial Defence to Murder,1 reviewing the present law and proposing a series of possible options for reform.  In responding to the LC's invitation, this article recommends that provocation be abolished and self-defence be reframed in order to take into account the inherent 'inequality of arms' between the sexes which requires radical rethinking of the immediacy and proportionality requirements so as to allow women, although not exclusively women, the opportunity for an effective self-defence.  The reasoning is set out in the body of this article, which reviews the law and practice of provocation and self-defence and the obstacles these defenses pose for women, especially battered women who kill.

"What is the distinction between definition and justification? If the definition of a crime is fulfilled, the perpetrator's act constitutes  (for instance) murder. But the murder is only wrongful if it was not justified in self-defense. Logically, there is no difference between the elements of a crime's definition and justifications.157 But in terms of  moral significance, there is a difference. Swatting a fly is not committing homicide, since the definition of homicide requires the  killing of a person. Shooting a robber in self-defense, however, is  homicide, although it is justified and therefore not wrongful.158 ...
------
157. Logical equivalency results ifjustifications are regarded as negative elements of the crime's defmition: crime = a + b is equivalent to crime = a + -(-b). Or: 'Wrongful  homicide is intentional killing unprovoked by a wrongful attack' equals 'homicide is  intentional killing; homicide is not wrongful if necessary to defend against an unprovoked  wrongful attack.'
158. See supra note 156." (pp. 407-408).  Note 156, at p. 407 reads: " 156. A crime's definition establishes the positive conditions that must be present for the action to have been wrongful, such as intentional killing in the case of homicide -- the elements of the crime establish the duty not to kill. There may be a rule under which a  privilege to violate this duty exists, however. Such a justification would remove the wrongfulness of the act. Killing another in self-defense is intentional homicide, but it is not  wrongful and therefore not subject to punishment. See generally GEORGE P. FLETCHER,  RETHINKING CRIMINAL LAW  § 7.4.2-3 (1978)".

"It is interesting to note Kant's approach to self-defence.  Kant recognizes self-defence as an objective right that grants the victim the right to employ force.  Kant rejects the view that the legislature can limit the scope of self-defence in cases of defence of life.  Kant states in his lectures, Kant's Gesammelte Schriften, XXVII.2.2 p. 1374 (Naturecht, Feyerabend) 'if my life is possibly but not certainly endangered, the state caanot enact a moderating law [a law that forbids me to protect my life] because 1) the most severe punishment that the state can impose is not greater than the present evil.  The law cannot prevent me from protecting my life.  Such a law would be absurd.  2) Such a law would be unjust because if the state cannot protect me then it cannot issue commands.'  In other words, according to Kant, self-defence is an objective right, and the legislature cannot restrict its scope, and if it purports to do so, the limitation is unjust.  Moreover, such a prohibition lacks a deterrent force."

Selon la réforme de l’article 52 du Code Pénal sur le droit d'assurer sa propre défense au sein du domicile privé, toute personne est désormais autorisée à faire usage d’une arme légalement détenue ou de tout autre moyen apte à défendre :

a) sa propre intégrité physique ou celle d’autrui ;

b) ses biens ou ceux d’autrui, lorsque le(s) cambrioleur(s) ne renonce(nt) pas à son délit et qu'il existe un danger d’agression.

"The resistance to the close-range killing of one's own species is so great that it is often sufficient to overcome the cumulative influences of the instinct for self-protection, the coercive forces of leadership, the expectancy of peers, and the obligation to preserve the lives of comrades.

    The soldier in combat is trapped within this tragic Catch-22.  If he overcomes his resistance to killing and kills an enemy soldier in close combat, he will be forever burdened with blood guilt, and if he elects not to kill, then the blood guilt of his fallen comrades and the shame of his profession, nation, and cause lie upon him.  He is damned if he does, and damned if he doesn't."
