En Su accesión castiza lo def‌ine el DRAE: «Abstención de hacer o decir»,

CONDE (1): «El comportamiento humano no se agota con el ejercicio activo de la
f‌inalidad, sino que también tiene un aspecto pasivo, constituido por la omisión
Este aspecto pasivo del actuar humano puede ser penalmente relevante. En la
doctrina alemana encontramos a SCHUNEMANN282, quien def‌ine la omisión
como: «No realizar una acción posible», B AU MAN N283: «Sostiene que la impo-
sibilidad de la acción no realizada no hace decaer la propia omisión, sino solo su
antijuridicidad
