Movie《Article 20》Connotation Introduction

The movie "Article 20" has been released recently. This drama has been frequently searched for just a few days after it was aired. There is also a lot of content about it on the Internet. Among them, the connotation of the movie "Article 20" isOne of the most discussed topics among the audience, here is some content collected by the editor for you.

The film - Article 20 - is mainly related to - Criminal Law - Article 20, namely - legitimate defense -, - excessive defense -, - defense without excessive -.The high probability has little to do with Article 20 of the Law on the Protection of Minors.

《Criminal Law》Article 20:

“Article 20 (Legitimate defense) Acts taken to stop the illegal infringement in order to protect the country, public interests, the personal, property and other rights of oneself or others from ongoing illegal infringement, causing damage to the illegal infringer, it is legitimate defense and does not bear criminal responsibility.

(Excessive defense) If legitimate defense obviously exceeds the necessary limit and causes serious damage, he shall bear criminal responsibility, but the punishment shall be reduced or exempted.

(No Excessive Defense) If a person takes defensive actions against an ongoing murder, robbery, rape, kidnapping, or other violent crime that seriously endangers personal safety, resulting in casualties or casualties, it does not constitute excessive defense and he will not be held criminally responsible..”

《Criminal Law》 was enacted in 1979 and underwent a major revision in 1997.In addition, previous amendments to the Criminal Law mostly appeared in the form of Criminal Law Amendments.The revised version in 1997, Article 20, is all about legitimate defense.Subsequent amendments have not changed the order and content of Article 20.

Therefore, in summary, as long as the film takes place after October 1997, there will be no problem in applying the current Article 20.(I’m just speaking in general terms here for the purpose of discussing the film.If it were an actual case, if it happened before or after this time, there would still be deeper issues of legal application.Not expanded here.) (In addition, in the article, the parentheses and the words “justifiable defense, excessive defense, and non-excessive defense” in the parentheses are added by me to explain the main contents of these three paragraphs.If the text of the provision is to be quoted, it should be deleted.)

Someone asked, does this - Article 20 - also refer to Article 20 of the - Law on the Protection of Minors?Personally, I think it most likely has little to do with it.

Because Article 20 of the currently effective Law on the Protection of Minors stipulates: - Article 20: Parents or other guardians of minors discover that the minor’s physical and mental health has been infringed, is suspected of being infringed, or other legitimate rights and interests have been infringed.If the situation is serious, they should immediately report to the public security, civil affairs, education and other departments.“

But it depends on when the story of the film takes place.Because the currently effective Law on the Protection of Minors was revised in 2020.Before the revision, the revised version in 2012 was in effect.Article 20 of the 2012 version of the Law on the Protection of Minors stipulates: - Article 20 Schools shall cooperate with the parents or other guardians of minor students to ensure that minor students have enough sleep, entertainment and physical exercise time.Do not increase their study burden.”

Does this provision have nothing to do with the case?Therefore, if the story of the film takes place before June 2021, it feels that it has little to do with Article 20 of the Law on the Protection of Minors.(Because the current effective law - the Protection of Minors - was revised in 2020 and implemented in June 2021.)
