Right of necessity

Right of necessity

…However, if you break a third party's fence to escape from the dog, you will not be charged with a crime, but you will be liable for damages to the third party under civil law. [Mikito Hayashi]
[International Law]
The right to defend one's country against illegal aggression from a foreign country is called the right of self-defense, but on the other hand, even if the aggression is not illegal, if there is imminent or actual harm to one's country or its citizens and it cannot be avoided by other means, the country may be forced to take defensive action by force, which is called the right of necessity (in English, right of necessity, in German, Notstandrecht), and the illegality of the act is precluded. The requirements and limitations of the right of self-defense are the same as those of the right of self-defense, except that the right of self-defense is premised on illegal aggression by a foreign country, while the right of necessity is against a non-illegal aggression.
