On the principle of criminal legality and its scope: Foreseeability as a component of legality

Abstract

Foreseeable, according to the Dictionary of the Spanish Royal Academy, is “What may be foreseen or comes within normal foresight”. To foresee is “To see in anticipation” or “To know, to conjecture by some signs or indications what has to happen” or “To have or to prepare resources against future contingencies”.
