Summary/Abstract: One of the elements of the structure of crime is illegality. However, the legislator has provided a certain mechanism to exclude illegality. Article 25 of the Penal Code states the necessary defense as a circumstance excluding the illegality of an act, and a prohibited act committed under this condition of this counter-type becomes legal. Preventing the perpetrator from being held accountable is the subject of consideration in this study.
