Popis: Since its inception in the late 19th century, strict criminal liability has been used to grapple with regulatory offences. The object of this article is to show that in most cases and in spite of the utilitarian arguments advanced for its retention, strict criminal liability violates Convention rights and that civil sanctions would offer equivalent possibility of enforcing regulatory offences.
