GENERAL PART

CHAPTER THREE (iii)CRIMINAL OFFENSE

Article 25

(1) A criminal offense can be committed by an act or an omission to act.

(2) A criminal offense is committed by omission when the perpetrator, who is legally obligated to avert the consequence of a criminal offense defined by law, fails to do so, and such a failure to act is tantamount in its effect and significance to the perpetration of such an offense by an act.

(3) The punishment of a perpetrator who commits a criminal offense by omission can be mitigated, except in the case of a criminal offense which can be committed only by failure to act.
