Article 37. Necessary Defense

An act committed in a state of necessary self-defense, that is, when protecting life or rights of a person defending oneself or another person, or interests of the State and society from an illegal attempt by causing harm to an attempter, shall not be a crime, if no excess of self-defense occurred.

Excess of self-defense shall be a clear inadequacy of a defense for a nature and danger of an attempt.
