Punitive damages are awarded to punish wrongdoers and discourage them from repeating harmful conduct. While such damages are widely accepted in some legal systems, several other countries do not have a favorable approach to it. In such situations, if the court orders punitive damages in an international case, enforcing it in other countries will be difficult. Therefore, this research aims to answer whether foreign punitive damages will apply in these countries by examining Iran's laws and Italian and French jurisprudence. This article shows that in Iranian law, according to the principle of full compensation, the civil liability system has a primary compensatory function, but with the existence of institutions that also follow the function of punishment and deterrence, it must be accepted that the enforcement of punitive damages is not against the concept of Iranian public policy. Initially, Italian and French courts had a negative approach towards the enforcement of punitive damages Because they believed that the punitive damages awards cause unjust enrichment for the victim and the interference of private individuals in the duties and rights of public authorities, which violates the compensatory function of the civil liability system. However, this attitude changed over time, and the courts of these countries accepted the enforcement of punitive damages.
