Corruption, globalisation and the law

By Vitor Eduardo Oliveira

Corruption is one of the most dramatic scourges that plague the globalised world. It weakens political legitimacy, causes waste of resources, affects international trade and the flow of investments. It is noted that the 1988 Federal Constitution provided support for various control mechanisms to avoid, among many evils, corruption. In the current constitutional order we find, in addition to the jurisdictional bodies that play the role of applying and distributing justice, the Courts of Auditors and the Parliamentary Commissions of Inquiry to oversee the public administration. One can not forget the most important jurisdictional body of the republic, which is the Supreme Court, which besides being the guardian of the Constitution is the competent forum for the trial of the occupants of the most relevant political positions of the nation and has the role of punishing and setting an example to other bodies in view of its relevance to the maintenance of the democratic rule of law.
