CONCEPTUAL DELIMITATIONS OF THE LEGAL SANCTION
CONCEPTUAL DELIMITATIONS OF THE LEGAL SANCTION

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to clarify the notion of legal sanction from the conceptual point of view as against other kinds of sanctions (moral, social, religious) and to differentiate the legal sanction from other concepts, such as punishment or coercion. My research was focused on the Romanian and international doctrines, as well as the domestic legislation, and I used research methods such as: logical method (deductive reasoning),comparative method, historical method. The paper identifies the main differences and similarities between the legal sanction and other kinds of sanctions. The novelty of the approach is the original systematization of these differences and similarities that helps a better understanding of the subtleties.
