Overseas crime - kokugaihan

Japanese: 国外犯 - こくがいはん
Overseas crime - kokugaihan
A crime in which all of the facts constituting the crime occurred outside Japan and outside of Japanese ships and aircraft. It is for domestic crimes. The current Criminal Code adopts the territorial principle, and in principle, only domestic crimes are punished (Article 1). However, as an exception, protectionism (Article 2) and personalism (Article 3) are adopted, so some crimes committed outside Japan are also punished. For example, crimes of rebellion, crimes of treason, various crimes of forgery, crimes of arson, crimes of murder, crimes of theft, crimes of robbery, etc.
