/dɪˈfɛns ʌv sɛlf/ – Phrase
Definition: tự vệ.
A more thorough explanation: The legal term “defence of self” refers to the legal justification for using force to protect oneself from imminent harm or danger. This defence allows an individual to use reasonable force to defend themselves against an immediate threat of harm, such as an attack or assault, without being held criminally liable for their actions.
Example: In the case of assault, the defendant may argue that they acted in defence of self, claiming that they were justified in using force to protect themselves from harm.
