Social Sciences - Law (general) / text about criminal responsiblity
Spanish term or phrase: respecto de la comisión por otro
There are two sentences which are somewhat challenging because of some terms used. The text reads "Muestra que la responsabilidad penal de superiores por las acciones de sus subordinados es aceptada por medio de varias figuras. Entre ellas, ***respecto de la comisión por otro***, en particular, los tribunales de la región...

Any ideas on how to word this?

the commission's regard for (or respect for) others.


Explanation:
If I understand where the text is going after the end of your context-quote from the original, then this may be a way to word it. Including your other query about 'figuras' in this reply , then, see the sample sentence below, to see if it helps or suggests a different solution in the wording. This is a reversal of the meaning that R.C. Baca and Monica suggested and worded so nicely in English. I admit that from what I can see, I'm unsure of the meaning. With your broader view of the context, look to see what was meant in the source and see if this wording can do you any good. Good luck.

Example sentence(s):
  • It demonstrates (or 'shows') in several ways that (the principle of) legal responsibility is accepted, on the part of superiors for their subordinates' actions. Among these ways is the commission's regard for (or respect for) others,
  • particularly its respect for the region's courts (or tribunals).
