This paper aims to analyze the performance of the Supreme Federal Court (Brazil) on environmental rulings, originating from international obligations assumed by Brazil and the posture of the government of Jair Messias Bolsonaro, which oscillates between populism and denialism. The rhetorical strategy of the heads of the federal Executive is not a recent novelty in Brazil, and the latest President of the Republic, following the modus operandi of other counterparts, intensified the use of populism in an attack on the international legal order and its institutions. In its functions, the Brazilian Federal Legislative was held in a mere supporting role, without a clear defense of the internationally binding legal ties to Brazil, or a posture of interpellation to the Executive for the maintenance and enhancement of domestic law in the face of law arising from outside its territory. Thus, the Supreme Federal Court assumed the condition of guarantor of transnational legal claims and international law, as a brake on this negationist populism against International Law, contemplating the prevalence of the protection of Human Rights, Democracy, Environment Law, and the Rule of Law. For the development of this research, the inductive method was used, operationalized by the operational concept techniques, bibliographic research, and jurisprudential analysis.

The procedure for the Transfer of Sentenced People (TSP) is a legal mechanism provided for in the Migration Law, with a humanitarian basis, and which aims to allow people definitively convicted in a different State to serve time in the country of their nationality or residence. The question to be answered, however, is: how can such an institute contribute to the protection of imprisoned foreign individuals? The purpose of this article is to investigate the aforementioned instrument of international cooperation, verifying its potential in the light of Transnational Law, to assess the possibility of its use as protection of the human rights of foreigners imprisoned in Brazil and, more specifically, in the State of Amazonas. For that, the deductive method will be used, starting from the bibliographic review of general themes such as Transnational Law, human rights protection and the very concept of the institute "Transfer of Sentenced People", to achieve the answers for the formulated problem. Statistical data collected by the National Penitentiary Department within the state of Amazonas will also be used, in the period from July to December 2019 (last census conducted), as a means of quantitative observation and the origin of foreigners imprisoned in the specified geographical area, given its location in the border region. All of this in order to achieve as a result the feasibility of adopting the measure of Transfer of Sentenced People as an aggregating mechanism both for public regional penitentiary policies, but mainly in the aspect of protecting the human rights of foreign prisoners.

This article aims to advance on the form of Transnational Law, starting from Aristotelian philosophical assumptions until its confluence with the manifestations of Transnational Law. Thus, Aristotle's support stems from the premise that, even in a space deeply marked by material aspects, the form stands out and functions as a vicar for another substance, being, therefore, an important finding for the theoretical development of Transnational Law and its normative sources. The present research is justified mainly for two reasons: the scientific and practical relevance that Transnational Law assumes contemporaneously, and, on the other hand, the existing gap regarding its form, whose consequences focus on denial or skeptical positions, as well as, in the confusion between analysis of social facts and Transnational Law, which impacts on the construction of standards on the sources of Transnational Law. For the development of this research, the inductive method was used, operationalized by the techniques of operational concept and bibliographic research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The main objective of this article is to analyze transnationality, transnational migration and the rights of migrant workers. The work is divided into three parts: the first part deals with transnationality and transnational law; the second part deals with transnational migration and its main characteristics; and the third part aims at identifying the rights of migrant workers and the existence of social dumping in Brazilian companies as an offensive practice for the dignity and rights of these workers. The inductive method was implemented using reference and category techniques, operational concepts and bibliographic research. Based on the cases analyzed, it was concluded that the vulnerability condition increases considerably when the worker is also a migrant. Therefore, the practice of social dumping by any company must be strongly fought to avoid any misuse or illegal use of migrant labor since transnational relations and events should not serve as a regression in the application of the rights but be the opposite.

Sustainability an overview has a design above all ethics, towards the quest for security to life and are not simply related to nature, but the whole relationship between the individual and the whole environment around, presenting as an agenda axiological recognized and valued on a global scale. With this bias thought this article presents in order to work the analysis of sustainability from a transnational view that the result of the study shows to be necessary. The work will as a general objective to understand sustainability from a transnational vision. And as specific objectives outline the basic concepts of sustainability and its related dimensions; and study the Transnational Law from a reality of sustainability. The methodology used was the inductive method for the research; the data processing phase of the Cartesian method and the research report was used inductive base. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Sustainability is presented as a goal that must be achieved in three areas, social, environmental and economic, which are presented as dimensions. In the analysis of these dimensions is usually not considered, the technological factor that, however, is fundamental, both to achieve success in each area as to ensure the viability of sustainability. In this article we highlight the mainstreaming of this new dimension, will be discussed the risks and opportunities that science and technology assume for the rest of the dimensions and identified the lines where action is needed to ensure their contribution to the goal to reach a sustainability in all its aspects. In the end, it will be held the necessary discussion of the Transnational Law as a control element of the powers created in the current globalized environment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
