Inter e transconstitucionalismo : a análise transversal no Supremo Tribunal Federal

Abstract

The classical idea of state sovereignty is transformed as the economic and political globalization creates more interaction between states and the submission of these international bodies endowed with character-making. For this reason, the domestic legal systems should be prepared for that reality, including their constitutions mechanisms to ensure the effectiveness of commitments made internationally; especially in the protection of human rights. The constitutional courts of the states, such as the Brazilian Supreme Court, should promote a transversal reasoning that reconciles the reasoning rules of domestic law with the international courts, especially in promoting human dignity.
