چکیده

بنیان نظری معاذیری همچون «مسئولیت تقلیل‌یافته»، «عذر برانگیختگی»، «مستی» و «وضعیت روحی و روانی متهم»، اختلال اراده است. در اساسنامۀ دیوان‌های بین‌المللی کیفری به اختلال اراده به‌عنوان دفاع جزئی به‌طور مستقیم اشاره نشده است؛ هرچند بر مبنای بند 3 مادۀ 31 اساسنامۀ دیوان بین‌الملل کیفری، دیوان می‌تواند دیگر اسباب معافیت مجازات را مدنظر قرار دهد و از این منظر به اختلال اراده توجه کند. با وجود پذیرش مفاهیمی همچون ناتوانی ذهنی در چارچوب حقوقی دیوان بین‌الملل کیفری و دادگاه بین‌الملل کیفری یوگسلاوی سابق که می‌تواند دامنۀ اسباب بالقوۀ قابل اعمال در تخفیف مجازات را توسعه دهد؛ اما در مورد مصادیق اختلال اراده در اساسنامۀ این دیوان‌ها، رهیافتی کاملاً محتاطانه اتخاذ شده است. در واقع با پایبندی به فلسفۀ وضع قوانین سختگیرانه در جنایات بین‌المللی، تنها به پذیرش مصادیق اختلال اراده به‌عنوان یک مخفف قضایی اکتفا شده است. این در حالی است که در نظام کامن‌لا، به‌طور خاص حقوق انگلستان، اختلال اراده به‌عنوان یک مخفف قانونی ظاهر می‌شود و موجب تبدیل ماهیت قتل عمد به قتل غیرعمد می‌شود.

چکیده [English]

The theoretical basis of excuses such as “Diminished Responsibility”, “Provocation”,” intoxication” and “accused mental condition”, is impaired volition. Volitional Impairment as a partial defense is not explicitly mentioned in the Statute of the International Criminal Courts; However, according to the clause 3 of article 31 of the Statute of the International Criminal Court, the court may consider other grounds for impunity and pay attention to the impaired volition from this point of view. Despite the acceptance of concepts such as mental disorder in the legal framework of the International Criminal Court and the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, which can expand the range of potential reasons for mitigating the punishment; a very cautious approach has been adopted regarding cases of disturbance of volition in the statute of criminal courts.
In fact, according to adhering to the philosophy of establishing strict laws in international crimes, examples of impaired volition have been limited just as a judicial mitigating excuse. This is despite the fact that in the Common law system, especially in the law of England, impaired volition is addressed as a partial excuse (partial defense) in some cases of intentional homicide, and it reduces the punishment for homicide to manslaughter.
