Summary

In distinguishing among three forms of justification in situations of necessity (necessity strictosensu, defensive necessity and self-defense), criminal law in Germany aims at reaching a high level of precision in the theory of justification. However the concept of defensive necessity has been dealt with in a rather unsystematic and fragmented form. Javier Wilenmann establishes the philosophical foundations, systematic position and legal prerequisites of this central institution of criminal law in Germany.
