Thus far, private international law issues relating to punitive damages have mainly been dealt with from the perspective of several European countries. Systematic research into countries outside Europe was lacking up until now. There is, however, a continuous discussion in various legal systems worldwide on the recognition and enforcement of foreign punitive damages judgments and, in particular, regarding their compatibility with the public policy of the country of enforcement. In October 2021, the Maastricht European Private Law Institute (M-EPLI) organised a Roundtable on the recognition and enforcement of punitive damages across the globe. Experts from different continents reflected on the current position in their jurisdiction(s) and exchanged their understandings and ideas in the Roundtable. This resulting book includes an introductory chapter on the status quo of punitive damages enforcement in Europe, followed by country reports from Russia, China, South Korea, the Philippines and Japan, Commonwealth Africa, Mexico and Argentina, and Brazil. In conclusion, overarching insights from the Hague Conference are formulated. This book provides an invaluable resource for academics, judges, practitioners and policy makers in the field of private international law, punitive damages, and civil law remedies. It gives an overview of the treatment of punitive damages judgments across continents and may serve as a building block for further research.

AI systems have the capacity to act in a way that can generally be considered as 'criminal' by society. Yet, it can be argued that they lack (criminal) agency - and the feeling of it. In the future, however, humans might develop expectations of norm-conforming behavior from machines. Criminal law might not be the right answer for AI-related harm, even though holding AI systems directly liable could be useful - to a certain extent. This book explores the issue of criminal responsibility of AI systems by focusing on whether such legal framework would be needed and feasible. It aims to understand how to deal with the (apparent) conflict between AI and the most classical notions of criminal law. The occurrence of AI is not the first time that criminal law theory has had to deal with new scientific developments. Nevertheless, the debate on criminal liability of AI systems is somewhat different: it is deeply introspective. In other words, discussing the liability of new artificial agents brings about pioneering perspectives on the liability of human agents. As such, this book poses questions that find their answers in one's own beliefs on what is human and what is not, and, ultimately, on what is right and what is wrong.

All over the world, governments impose punishments on their citizens for transgressions of the criminal law. Consensus exists that this sanctioning should be in accordance with the principle of legality and the rule of law. However, governments around the world struggle with providing foreseeability and non-arbitrariness in their sentencing systems. This continuous struggle raises the question how - and to what extent - foreseeability and non-arbitrariness must be guaranteed. Not only in relation to the type of sentence imposed (quality), but also to its length (quantity) and the circumstances under which the sentence is executed. Worldwide, a variety of sentencing principles (e.g.,proportionality, equality, culpability) are employed, not only to promote foreseeable, non-arbitrary sentencing, but also to do justice in the individual case. Although similarities exist, countries differ greatly in the principles they apply and the meaning they ascribe to them. This volume provides insight in the worldwide ideas and practices on legality and other requirements for sentencing. Which requirements should be leading? How do these requirements interrelate? And how should they be defined and implemented? An array of topics and questions is discussed regarding these requirements. Some examples: How should judicial discretion and the principle of legality be balanced? Should the execution of sentences be a matter for the judiciary or the administration? What is the relationship between the principle of legality and the prohibition against discrimination? Can human judges practice consistent sentencing? Should temporary release be a discretionary power or a right? And: How can we increase public confidence in sentencing? The present volume hopes to both provide answers to these questions and to support the reader in developing new thoughts and angles on these topics. Partout dans le monde, les gouvernements imposent des sanctions à leurs citoyens pour des transgressions du droit pénal. Il existe un consensus sur le fait que cette sanction doit être conforme au principe de légalité et à l''État de droit. Cependant, les gouvernements du monde entier s''efforcent d''assurer la prévisibilité et l''absence d''arbitraire dans leurs systèmes de condamnation. Cette lutte permanente soulève la question de savoir comment - et dans quelle mesure - la prévisibilité et le caractère non arbitraire doivent être garantis. Non seulement en ce qui concerne le type de peine imposée (qualité), mais aussi en ce qui concerne sa durée (quantité) et les circonstances dans lesquelles la peine est exécutée. Dans le monde entier, divers principes de détermination de la peine (par exemple, la proportionnalité, l''égalité, la culpabilité) sont utilisés, non seulement pour promouvoir une détermination prévisible et non arbitraire de la peine, mais aussi pour rendre justice au cas par cas. Bien qu''il existe des similitudes, les pays diffèrent grandement dans les principes qu''ils appliquent et dans la signification qu''ils leur donnent. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Ce volume donne un aperçu des idées et des pratiques mondiales sur la légalité et les autres exigences en matière de condamnation. Quelles sont les exigences à privilégier&nbsp;? Comment ces exigences sont-elles liées entre elles&nbsp;? Et comment doivent-elles être définies et mises en oeuvre&nbsp;? Un large éventail de sujets et de questions sont abordés à propos de ces exigences. Quelques exemples&nbsp;: comment équilibrer le pouvoir discrétionnaire du juge et le principe de légalité&nbsp;? L''exécution des peines doit-elle relever du pouvoir judiciaire ou de l''administration&nbsp;? Quelle est la relation entre le principe de légalité et l''interdiction de la discrimination&nbsp;? Les juges humains peuvent-ils pratiquer des peines cohérentes&nbsp;? La libération provisoire doit-elle être un pouvoir discrétionnaire ou un droit&nbsp;? Et&nbsp;: comment accroître la confiance du public dans la détermination de la peine&nbsp;? Le présent volume espère à la fois apporter des réponses à ces questions et aider le lecteur à développer de nouvelles réflexions et de nouveaux points de vue sur ces sujets.
