committed under any of the cases provided by law supporting (self-defense, necessity exercise any
right or performance of an obligation, and the injured person's consent).
The offense cannot exist unless there is missing one of the key features defining the existence of the
crime, but when the facts, although it has all these features, be committed in circumstances which give
a legitimate purpose, that is allowed in the light of higher requirements the legal system, being
removed unlawful nature of the act. (Antoniu, 2010) The evidence system gives expression of needs
regulatory objectives.
The doctrine of penal laws as experience has shown that, with the specific requirements of each area
(branches) of legal regulation in relation to their social relations in these fields, there are requirements
of the legal system as a whole, independent of the specificities of each branch of law.
These common requirements imposed by necessity legislature obliged to protect not only domain -
specific social values, and social values common to all branches of law, an expression of the identity
of interests of members of a social group.
