SUMMARY:Corruption\, Criminal Law\, and China: Offering and Accepting Bribes
DESCRIPTION:Corruption\, Criminal Law\, and China: Offering and Accepting Bribes\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn-person event \nThe XII Amendment to Criminal Law of P.R.C adopted by the Standing Committee of People’s Congress on 29 December 2023 is guided by two principles. One is to enhance protection for private enterprises and the other is to punish offering bribes and accepting bribes equally. The reason that accepting bribes\, which has been punished ever since the foundation of P.R.C\, is stressed now is of course the serious situation of bribery. Meanwhile\, although the logic behind this is acceptable\, whether legislative purpose can be realized to a high degree depends on judicial efforts. \nJudging from typical cases and relative statistics\, I believe four principles should be observed in terms of criminal law. In the first place\, different approaches should be taken to deal with offering bribes committed by organizations and individuals. Compliance model might be a choice. Secondly\, crime and civil or administrative violation should be carefully differentiated to prevent criminal punishments from leading to undue harms. Thirdly\, the question whether public authorities can be charged with offering or accepting bribes should be answered in specific context. Finally\, more flexible systems\, such as disqualification and corporate probation\, should be considered. \nSpeaker \nProfessor Zhenjie Zhou\, Vice Dean\, Beijing Normal University School of Law\, China \nZhenjie Zhou\, Professor and Doctor of Law.
