criminal law
Article 20. In order to protect the state, public interests, personal, property and other rights of oneself or others from the ongoing unlawful infringement, it is justifiable defense to stop the unlawful infringement and cause damage to the unlawful infringer, and it is not criminally responsible.
If justifiable defense obviously exceeds the necessary limit and causes great damage, criminal responsibility shall be borne, but the punishment shall be mitigated or exempted.
Taking defensive actions against violent crimes such as assault, murder, robbery, rape, kidnapping, etc., which seriously endanger personal safety, and causing casualties to illegal infringers, is not excessive defense and does not bear criminal responsibility.
