perfect self-defense

A quick definition of perfect self-defense:

Perfect self-defense is when someone uses force to protect themselves, their family, or their property from an attack, and they accurately assess the necessity and amount of force needed to repel the attack. This is different from imperfect self-defense, where someone makes an honest but unreasonable mistake about the necessity of force. In both cases, the use of force must be necessary and reasonable. Self-defense is a legal right, but it is up to the courts to decide if the specific situation warrants its use. International law also recognizes the right of a state to defend itself against a real or threatened attack.

A more thorough explanation:

Perfect self-defense is the use of force to protect oneself, family, or property from a real or threatened attack. It is considered perfect when the force used is necessary and reasonable to repel the attack.

For example, if someone is being physically attacked and they use force to defend themselves, it is considered perfect self-defense if the force used was necessary to stop the attack and was not excessive. However, if someone uses force in response to a perceived threat that is not actually present, it is considered imperfect self-defense.

It is important to note that the use of force in self-defense is only justified if the danger of bodily harm is imminent and force is necessary to avoid it. The law of self-defense varies by jurisdiction, but generally, a person is justified in using a reasonable amount of force in self-defense.

International law also recognizes the right of a state to defend itself against a real or threatened attack. This is known as the right to self-defense.
