The aim of study was to analyze the functioning the new model of criminal corporate responsibility in Poland. The need to introduce into the Polish legal system liability of corporate (collective entities) has resulted, among others, from the Polish Republic's international commitments, in particular related to membership in the European Union. The study showed that responsibility of collective entities under the Act has a criminal nature. The main question concerns the ability of the collective entity to be brought to guilt under criminal law sense. Polish criminal law knows only the responsibility of individual persons. So far, guilt as a personal feature of action, based on the ability of the offender to feel in his psyche, could be considered only in relation to the individual person, while the said Act destroyed this conviction. Guilt of collective entity must be proven under at least one of the three possible forms: the guilt in the selection or supervision and so called organizational guilt. In addition, research in article has resolved the issue how the principle of proportionality in relation to criminal measures in response of collective entities should be considered. It should be remembered that the legal subjectivity of collective entities, including their rights and freedoms, is an emanation of the rights and freedoms of individual persons which create collective entities and through these entities implement their rights and freedoms. The whole study was proved that the adopted Act largely reflects the international legal regulations but also contains the unknown and original legislative solutions.

The paper considers the current state and prospects of development of unmanned (highly automated) vehicles in Russia. Relying on the strategic direction that the vehicles functioning in unmanned mode should be gradually included into the already established transport system without exposing other road participants to danger and ensuring the observance of traffic rules, the article gives a detailed analysis of vulnerabilities and risks that have to be faced in the development and operation of highly automated vehicles. The global practice shows that not only technical and organizational means, but also legal measures play a major role in ensuring the safety of unmanned vehicles. The authors propose to develop legal measures aimed at preventing the harm caused by unmanned vehicles to be implemented within the framework of Chapter 27 of the RF Criminal Code "Crimes against traffic safety and vehicle operation".

"The purpose of this book is to cast light on the workings of language in international legal interpretation in the context of contemporary processes of globalisation. We take an explicit interdisciplinary perspective, which includes both legal theories of interpretation and linguistic theories of meaning, and both legal philosophy and the philosophy of language. The book treats the subject as it appears within and across different legal fields - international economic law, human rights law and international criminal law, EU law, and international arbitration. It also includes more general perspectives on international legal interpretation, among them comparative law, multilingualism and legal translation"--
