Este artículo busca refl exionar sobre la naturaleza, fundamentos y problematización de la legítima defensa en el Derecho penal. Esta fi gura, caracterizada por su presencia constante a lo largo de la historia y su amplio consenso en torno a su conceptualización y fundamentos, ha sufrido, no obstante, una evolución que tiene que ver con la necesidad de ponderar el criterio individual (prevalencia de los intereses del agredido) con la defensa del orden jurídico, con el objeto de encontrar una fuente de legitimidad en esta fi gura no exenta de controversia. Con el ánimo de aclarar tal controversia se indagará sobre los requisitos que se exigen para que esta fi gura pueda justifi car la realización de un hecho típico, y algunos de los problemas que esto puede ocasionar. Concretamente, sobre su extensión y el caso de la legítima defensa putativa (existencia real de la agresión y racionalidad de la defensa).
This article discusses the nature, foundations and problematisation of the so-called legitimate defence in Criminal Law. This fi gure, which is very rooted in history as well as little confronted in terms of conceptualisation and arguments, has challenged, however, a certain evolution concerning the necessity to ponder the individual criteria (prevalence of the one attacked) over the overall legal discernment, aiming at adding some legitimacy to such controversial fi gure. Therefore, this article offers a discussion over the requisites that are demanded to justify a wrongdoing as well as points a number of problems for its identifi cation, mostly focused on its extension and on the case of the putative self-defence (actual aggression and defence rationality).
