GENERAL PART
SECTION TWO. GROUNDS FOR LIABILITY
CHAPTER 6. UNCOMPLETED CRIME
Article 26. Voluntary Renunciation
Discontinuance of preparations for or commission of a crime, in the instance if a person preparing or committing thereof realized his ability to complete it, as well as prevention of criminal consequence, if the person realized the possibility of its emergence, shall be recognized as voluntary renunciation.
Voluntary renunciation shall be a valid defense.
A person, voluntary renouncing from completion of the crime, shall be liable under this Code, in the instance if the actual act committed by him contains all elements of another corpus delicti.
Article 25
Individual criminal responsibility
3. In accordance with this Statute, a person shall be criminally responsible and liable for punishment for a crime within the jurisdiction of the Court if that person:
(f) Attempts to commit such a crime by taking action that commences its execution by means of a substantial step, but the crime does not occur because of circumstances independent of the person's intentions. However, a person who abandons the effort to commit the crime or otherwise prevents the completion of the crime shall not be liable for punishment under this Statute for the attempt to commit that crime if that person completely and voluntarily gave up the criminal purpose.
