Abstract

The article examines Criminal Law within Mercosur from a humanistic perspective, in the face of economic globalization. The methodology used is the theoretical-critical and humanistic analysis of the impacts of globalization on the penal system and international cooperation. The exposition covers the social effects of globalization, the tendency toward punitive hardening, the need for penal cooperation and the proposal of a supranational Court. The investigation concludes that integration must preserve fundamental rights, human dignity and procedural guarantees, without yielding to repressive efficiency.
