Foundations of Criminal Liability

DIVISION ONE
CONCEPT OF CRIMINAL OFFENCE AND TYPES OF CRIMINAL OFFENCES

Section 14
Attempted Criminal Offence

(1) An attempted criminal offence is an action directly leading to the completion of a criminal offence preformed by an offender with the intent to commit a criminal offence, which has not been completed.

(2) The attempted criminal offence shall carry the same punishment as the completed criminal offence.

(3) The punishability of the attempted criminal offence shall become extinguished if the offender willfully

a) stopped performing the action leading to the completion of a criminal offence, and removed the threat to an interest protected under this Act presented by the attempt, or
b) gave information about the attempted criminal offence at such time when it was still possible to remove the threat to an interest protected under this Act presented by the attempt. Such information shall be submitted to the authorities with competence for criminal proceedings or to the Police Force. Members of the armed forces may give such information to their superior officers. Persons serving their imprisonment sentences or remanded in custody may give such information also to the officers of the Corps of Prison and Court Guard of the Slovak Republic.

(4) The application of paragraph 3 does not, however, prejudice criminal liability of the offender for a different criminal offence he had already committed through such an action.

RELEVANT ROME STATUTE PROVISIONS

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.
