Article 95: Ignorance of the criminal law, motive, misrepresentation on the person of the victim or the object of the offence and forgiveness by the victim shall have no effect on existence of criminal liability. Article 96: Legal persons, with the exception of the State and its branches, are criminally liable for offences committed on their behalf by their organs or representatives. When the criminal liability of the legal person is established, only a fine is pronounced, as a principal penalty. This may be increased to a maximum amount five times higher than that incurred for the same offence by a natural person. The criminal liability of legal persons does not exclude that of natural persons who are offenders or accomplices in the same acts. CHAPTER 2: GROUNDS FOR OFFENCE EXEMPTION Section 1: Self- defense Article 97: There is no offence when the acts are committed for the actual need to defend oneself or others or a legally protected property against an unjustified attack, provided that the latter cannot be prevented otherwise and that the defense is concomitant and proportionate to the circumstances, in particular to the danger and the gravity of the attack, to the importance and to the value of the property attacked. Article 98: A person who commits a manslaughter, voluntarily inflicts assault and battery either by repelling, during the night, the climbing or breaking of fences, walls or entrances of a house, an inhabited apartment or their outbuildings, or by defending himself against the offenders of theft or looting carried out with violence, is presumed to be acting in self-defense. Section 2: Lawful and legitimate authority order Article 99: There is no offense when the acts are ordered or authorized by law. Article 100: There is no offence when the offender acts by order of the legitimate authority. In this case, the person who gives the order is liable for the act carried out and is punishable insofar as this act does not exceed the order given. The provisions of this article shall not apply if the order is manifestly unlawful. Section 3: Defense of necessity Article 101: There is no offence when the acts are committed in order to preserve the life, physical integrity, liberty or property of the offender or a third party from serious and imminent danger, provided that the danger cannot be averted otherwise than by means proportionate to the circumstances.
