Basic Characteristics of the Commercial Criminal Law of the Republic of Srpska
Abstract: Considering the fact that in the modern world that knows no borders between countries and even continents, legal entities commit serious criminal offenses in the field of commercial, financial, computer, environmental, and similar operations. At the end of the 20th century, a lot of countries introduced a system of criminal responsibility and punishability of legal entities. Since the legal entity has no consciousness or will, i.e. is unable to take physical movements that would cause the consequence of a crime, specific rules on responsibility and application of criminal sanctions have been prescribed for this type of perpetrators. In this way, a new branch of criminal law was constituted - commercial criminal law. This paper deals precisely with the basic characteristics of commercial criminal law.
Keywords: criminal offense, legal entity, responsibility, law, criminal sanction.
