Good advocacy but unsound principle, for damages are to compensate the victim not to reflect what the wrongdoer ought to pay. |
Nothing under the U. S. or E. U. law prevents prosecution or claims against the original wrongdoer. |
If the wrongdoer has come to the point of realizing his wrong, then one hopes there will be remorse, or at least some contrition or sorrow. |
International public opinion had the power to exert pressure on the wrongdoer. |
In these countries, the primary aim of customary law is conciliation and dispute, reconciliation between the wronged and the wrongdoer. |
There is no requirement that the wrongdoer have the actual malicious purpose of causing harm. |
