| Abstract: | Wh.t is the 'raison d'etre' of legitimate defence? What justifies it? When and under what circumstances? Self-defence is a right based on common sense because it comes as a natural instinct. It is an inherent right to protect onself from any personal aggressor and, since we live in a civilized world, we should feel ourselves constrained if not bound by human sympathy to defend others who are unjustly assaulted and in need of help. This natural right of every individual is not a modern concept of law, but it has been the theme of great philosophers. |
