Abstract
Background: In today's interconnected world, the global economy holds significant importance
due to its far-reaching impact on various aspects of the world. It provides emerging economies,
especially developing countries, access to larger markets and enhances substantial business
transactions requiring commercial legal entities to wield significant influence and power across
borders, leading to a surge in complex transnational crimes.
Methods: This qualitative systematic review paper overviews, analyses, and synchronises the
secondary sources relating to the prosecution of the criminal liability of commercial legal
entities. The outcomes cement the legal basis for the urgent need for globally harmonised
sanctions to prosecute commercial legal entities involved in transnational crimes effectively.
Results and conclusions: By exploring the nature and scope of these offences, the challenges in
enforcement, and the benefits of a unified approach, this research aims to provide a
comprehensive framework for international cooperation to uphold justice and integrity in
prosecuting the criminal liability of commercial legal entities. Through case studies, analysis of
existing legal structures, and recommendations for future actions, this study highlights the
necessity of global collaboration to establish harmonised sanctions and legal frameworks
relating to the prosecution of criminal liability among countries. In addition, it constitutes
some implications for changing the current situation of prosecuting criminal liability
worldwide, especially in countries that have yet to enter into signatories with other countries
to address transborder prosecution of criminal liability.

Вступ. У сучасному взаємопов’язаному світі глобальна економіка має важливе значення
через свій широкомасштабний вплив на різні аспекти життя. Вона надає країнам, що
розвиваються, доступ до більших ринків і сприяє значним бізнес-операціям, що вимагають
від комерційних юридичних осіб мати значний вплив і силу за межами національних кордонів,
що призводить до зростання складних транснаціональних злочинів.
Методи. У цій якісній систематичній оглядовій роботі здійснюється огляд, аналіз і
синхронізація вторинних джерел, що стосуються притягання до кримінальної
відповідальності комерційних юридичних осіб. Результатами дослідження було
підтверджено правову основу для нагальної необхідності глобально гармонізованих санкцій, що дадуть змогу ефективно переслідувати комерційні юридичні особи, причетні
до транснаціональних злочинів.
Результати та висновки. У роботі досліджується природа та обсяг цих правопорушень,
виклики у їхньому застосуванні, а також переваги єдиного підходу. Оглядова стаття має
на меті надати всебічну основу для міжнародної співпраці, щоб дотримуватись
справедливості та доброчесності під час притягнення до кримінальної відповідальності
комерційних юридичних осіб. Завдяки тематичним дослідженням, аналізу наявних
правових структур і рекомендацій для майбутніх дій, у цьому дослідженні підкреслюється
необхідність глобальної співпраці для встановлення гармонізованих санкцій та правових
меж, що стосуються притягнення до кримінальної відповідальності між країнами. Крім
того, дослідження містить деякі пропозиції щодо зміни стосовно зазначеного питання у
світі, особливо в країнах, які ще не підписали міжнародні угоди з іншими країнами для
вирішення проблеми з транскордонним притягненням до кримінальної відповідальності.
