Through qualitative empirical research and employing legal, conceptual, and comparative law approaches, it has been identified that the restitution mechanism has faced issues from its inception, both in terms of regulation and implementation, resulting in failures in restitution claims. Furthermore, the benchmarks for assessing restitution have accumulated future losses for victims without being actionoriented. Numerous failures in the execution of restitution decisions have also been uncovered. Therefore, it is recommended to develop a restitution model based on justice and legal certainty. Among these recommendations are: eliminating limitations on victim types for restitution claims, establishing a mechanism that refers to diversion requests to compel law enforcement agencies to pursue restitution, developing restitution in actionable forms, seizing the perpetrator’s assets from the investigation stage, executing restitution without waiting for inkracht, adjusting subsidiary sanctions, implementing installment payments, revoking the convicted individual’s rights, and integrating a restitution and compensation scheme through the development of a victim assistance fund. Additionally, the establishment of oversight for the implementation of restitution is proposed.","PeriodicalId":516769,"journal":{"name":"Pakistan Journal of Criminology","volume":" 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141370384","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, the procedural aspects of combating these crimes that transcend borders, pose many challenges in terms of jurisdiction, especially given the differences in legislative frameworks and the weakness of international cooperation in this field. The study initially focuses on explaining the legal nature of jurisdictional conflicts and their impact on cybercrime. It also highlights the issues related to the perpetrator’s multiple nationalities. The study concludes that jurisdictional conflict arises from states’ adherence to the principle of sovereignty over their territories and people, and the absence of unified legislation to resolve disputes over the applicable law. The study exceptionally suggests applying the principle of personal jurisdiction with an affirmative approach and the principle of universal jurisdiction under specific conditions. The study recommends amending Article (7) of the provisions of the Penal Code and Article (38) of the Cybercrime Law in Jordan to include the principle of regional jurisdiction for attempted cybercrimes committed abroad and where the criminal result is not achieved\u0000thin the Jordanian territory.","PeriodicalId":516769,"journal":{"name":"Pakistan Journal of Criminology","volume":"46 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141382127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the revisions aim to balance human rights protection and law enforcement in the digital era, the public views them as a missed opportunity to eliminate vagueness and potential misuse. This research employs normative legal methods with statutory, conceptual, comparative, and futuristic approaches. Findings indicate that the ambiguous definitions and potential for multiple interpretations of Articles 27A and 27B negatively impact freedom of expression, creating fear and uncertainty among the public, journalists, and government critics. From a human rights perspective, these articles violate fundamental principles, particularly the internationally recognized freedom of expression. Aligning the law with human rights principles is crucial to protect freedom of expression without compromising individuals' protection from defamation. Therefore, despite the revision reflecting efforts to address digital age challenges, further amendments are necessary to ensure the law meets law enforcement needs while safeguarding human rights and freedom of expression. Balancing individual protection and freedom of expression is crucial to prevent the law from suppressing critical voices and journalistic investigations, which are vital for a healthy democracy.","PeriodicalId":516769,"journal":{"name":"Pakistan Journal of Criminology","volume":"24 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141383347","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, these countries rushed to establish numerous mechanisms to ensure their right to recover those funds, with the United Nations Convention against Corruption of 2003 at the forefront. The research addressed the effectiveness of those mechanisms mentioned in the United Nations Convention against Corruption in Recovery, and we observed the research that international experiences in recovering funds and proceeds obtained from corruption crimes is a complex and expensive subject, and takes a long time, sometimes reaching dozens of years. This indicates that there is a problem regarding organizing recovery. We concluded that international agreements are still incapable and unable to resolve some of the legal and procedural issues arising from recovery. Hence, the pressure exerted by influential and benefiting countries from corrupt funds has increased the difficulty of achieving a significant result in recovering looted funds. We also concluded the necessity of encouraging entities working to provide appropriate training, practical evidence, studies, and experiences gathered from various successful and unsuccessful recovery cases. This includes urging countries to develop their legislation in line with the requirements of applicable international agreements to ensure the success of anti-corruption measures.","PeriodicalId":516769,"journal":{"name":"Pakistan Journal of Criminology","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141383676","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
