The Principle of Legality in Criminal Unlawful Acts

Abstract

In Legal Science, we recognize the existence of unlawful acts (PMH). Usually, unlawful acts are identified with acts that violate the law, acts that conflict with the rights of other people, acts that conflict with the values of decency and propriety, and acts that violate general principles in the field of law. Meanwhile, in the criminal context, an unlawful act is an act that violates the law, an act carried out outside one's power or authority, and an act that violates general principles in the field of law. The principle of legality is a principle that determines that criminal acts must first be regulated in law or a legal rule before someone commits a violation or act.
