Granice pomaganja u samoubistvu prema Nemačkom krivičnom pravu

Abstract

U radu su obrađena konkretno dva pitanja u vezi sa pomaganjem u samoubistvu prema nemačkom pravu, i to razgraničenje (nekažnjivog) pomaganja u odnosu na odgovornost zbog nepravog nečinjenja i razgraničenje u odnosu na krivično delo nepružanja pomoći (§ 323c StGB) sa nečinjenjem kao glavnom sponom koja povlačenje granice ne čini uvek jasnim. Pažnja je posvećena i novouvedenom krivičnom delu poslovnog podsticanja samoubistva (§ 217 StGB), kojim se sužava polje nekažnjivosti asistiranog suicida.

This paper begins with the evaluation of the limitations between the not punishable suicide assistance and killing on request done by omission (§ 216 CC, 'mercy killing'), with the change of rule over the act as central criterion of the analysis. A delimitation to failure to render assistance (§ 323c CC), where suicide is (mis)interpreted as accident in terms of this offense, leading to narrowing of impunity, has also been made. The second part deals with another limitation of impunity of those who are assisting suicide, currently being in center of focus because of the new offense of business-like support of suicide (§ 217 CC), which is now, with a few exceptions, prohibiting the business-like providing, making available and mediating the possibility for suicide.
