2024 Abstract: The paper presents the institution of mistake (error) in our criminal law, focusing on its legal regulation as a ground for exculpation. The fact that mistake is a psychological and legal concept whose meaning includes several substantial elements is acknowledged. The legal relevance of mistake contributes to its various treatment in legislation. Given that criminal law, as a branch of legislation, deeply engages with human rights, mistake becomes a crucial institution for excluding the guilt of a perpetrator. Depending on the type of mistake, and the legal and situational circumstances in which it is considered, two main categories can be recognized: mistake of fact (error facti) and mistake of law (error iuris). Their effect must be evaluated in the contest of a specific criminal case. This paper will elucidate the general term and types of mistakes, exploring their effects on the culpability of the perpetrator of the criminal act. Rezime: U radu je predstavljen institut zablude (error) u našem krivičnom pravu. Polazišnu osnovu čini zakonsko uređenje zablude kao jednog od osnova isključenja krivice. Uvažena je činjenica da zabluda predstavlja psihološko-pravni pojam čije značenje obuhvata više supstancijalnih elemenata. Pravna relevantnost zablude doprinosi njenom različitom tretmanu u zakonodavstvu. S obzirom da krivično pravo predstavlja granu zakonodavstva kojom se najdublje zadire u prava čoveka zabluda predstavlja važan institut kojim se može isključiti krivica učinioca krivičnog dela. U zavisnosti od vrste zablude, pravnih i situacionih okolnosti u kojima se razmatraju, moguće je izdvojiti: stvarnu zabludu (error facti) i pravnu zabludu (error iuris). Njihovo dejstvo je neophodno ceniti u kontekstu određenog krivičnog slučaja. Sledstveno tome, autor će u radu ukazati na opšti pojam i vrste zablude uključujući njeno dejstvo na krivicu učinioca krivičnog dela. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode Pravo - teorija i praksa vol. 40 br. 4 str. 46-57 Joksić, Ivan https://unilib.phaidrabg.rs/o:4565 doi:10.5937/ptp2304046J ISSN: 0351-3713 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/article Keywords: criminal law; mistake of fact; mistake of law; culpability Ključne reči: krivično pravo; stvarna zabluda; pravna zabluda; krivica application/pdf 368671 bytes Mistake in the criminal law of the Republic of Serbia Zabluda u krivičnom pravu Republike Srbije
