GENERAL PROVISIONS ON CRIMINAL OFFENCE
2. Guilt and Punishability of Perpetrators
Necessity
Article 32
(1) Any person who shall commit an act, which shall have elements of a criminal offence to avert an immediate threat to his life, physical integrity, personal freedom or property necessary for survival, which he has not caused himself, shall not be found guilty if such threat could not have been averted in any other way, and the perpetrator was not obliged to expose to it as well.
(2) Any person who shall commit a criminal offense out of necessity under the conditions referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article in order to avert the threat to other values recognised by law, shall not be punished provided that the evil thus incurred does not exceed the evil which threatened him.
(3) A reduced sentence may be imposed on any perpetrator who in cases under paragraphs 1 and 2 of this Article, by reason of negligence, has caused the danger himself or whose conduct has exceeded the limits of necessity, and if the perpetrator has acted beyond such limits under particularly mitigating circumstances, his sentence may be withdrawn.
