This article base line bears on the relevance of the process– developed after 1945– of law’s constitutionalization, its foundations established and main characteristics. This process is framed by HumanRights fully implementation, such as rejection of impunity concerning serious human rights violations, respect to due process, the integrality and indivisibility of human rights, also respect to indigenous people and limits to state of emergency. Finally, through reviewing laws for compliance, the author highlights the importance of jurisdictional bodies for an effective fulfillment of constitutional and supranational rules signed by the States.

A first reading of the anti-corruption treaties in force shows that they do not establish any direct relationship with human rights. This situation is replicated with the treaties that deal with human rights in the international legal system, since there is no palpable link between them and corruption. In this context, the purpose of this study is to find the relationship between corruption and human rights from an international legal perspective. Although there is no ostensible link between the aforementioned concepts, the author argues that the fight against and prevention of corruption has its origin in the United Nations Charter and regional charters, since acts of corruption are contrary to the principles of those charters. To that extent, corruption represents a threat, affectation and hindrance to human rights and, in certain cases, represents a violation of those rights.

Los tres trabajos que se presentan a continuación tuvieron como germen el Seminario “Globalización y Derecho internacional”, organizado por el área de Derecho Internacional de la Facultad de Derecho de la Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Los tres textos abordan el tema de la influencia del proceso de globalización en los derechos humanos, de cómo la interconexión entre los habitantes del planeta les ha permitido reconocerse mutuamente en su humanidad, lo que deviene en una obligación de proteger tal reconocimiento jurídicamente. Sin embargo, este proceso se ha dado por pasos pequeños, pero importantes, en el Derecho Internacional. Es esta problemática la que se recoge en el texto del profesor José Antonio Burneo Labrín, titulado “Globalización de los derechos humanos y de la justicia penal internacional” y que es complementado, mediante la profundización ...
