GARCIA-MATAMOROS, LAURA VICTORIA e AREVALO-RAMIREZ, WALTER. Recent Developments in Punitive Damages in Civil Law, Common Law, the Interamerican Human Rights System and International Law. Rev. Derecho Privado [online]. 2019, n.37, pp.183-217. ISSN 0123-4366. https://doi.org/10.18601/01234366.n37.08.
