/ækt ˈmɑləm ɪn se/ – Pharse
Definition: hành vi vốn tồi tệ và gây hậu quả tai hại, bất kể là có bị pháp luật trừng phạt hay không; hành vi phạm tội có chứa yếu tố phi đạo đức.
A more throughout explanation: “Act malum in se” is a Latin term that translates to “an act evil in itself.” In legal terms, it refers to an action that is inherently wrong or immoral, regardless of whether it is prohibited by law. This concept is often used to describe acts that are universally considered unethical or morally reprehensible.
Example: Murder is considered an act malum in se, as it is inherently wrong and illegal in all jurisdictions.
