- The legal theory of the right of self-defense originated from the
concept of the protection of rights. When an individual is unlawfully
infringed and unable to obtain timely protection by public power, he or she,
being the defender, passively takes defensive action so as to avoid unlawful
infringement under emergent circumstances. However, the determination of
excessive self-defense requires to clarify the nature of such behavior be
passive and legally granted and if such behavior meets the criteria of just
cause based on concrete and objective facts.
This study suggests that the following three perspectives can be
referred to as the standards for the determination of excessive self-defense:
the adequacy of balance of legal interest, the appropriateness of defensive
measures and the application of the maximum tolerance principle. In the
event that the levels of the legal interest of defensive protection and the
defensive measures taken are not higher than that of unlawful infringement,
self-defense is considered as proper behavior. On the other hand, if the
above said levels are higher than that of unlawful infringement, that is
excessive self-defense. When neither the consideration of the balance of
interests nor the consideration of defensive means passes the censorship
standard, the principle of maximum tolerance should be adopted to examine
whether the behavior is excessively defensive. Either “any doubt” or “no
doubt” arising from defensive behavior first leads to determining the
occurrence of the defensive behavior in accordance with the exception of
presumption of innocence. Next, a review shall be conducted by an
impartial and neutral third party to determine whether the defensive
behavior is excessive. When the defensive behavior is deemed to be
reasonable, appropriate, and necessary by the third party, the behavior is
determined as proper behavior. If defensive behavior is deemed
unreasonable, inappropriate, and unnecessary, it is determined to be
excessive self-defense.
