BESIDE WHO ARE WE IN LATIN AMERICA? THE ISOLATION OF BRAZIL IN THE CRIMINAL PERSISTENCE OF CONTEMPT TOWARDS OFFICIALS
Abstract
Abstract: This article aims to demonstrate in what direction the national states, in Latin America, have moved since the 1990s, which coincides with the consolidation of the process of re-democratization in the region, in the sense of abolishing criminal types of contempt towards officials. Consolidates the perception that, in democratic orders, the special treatment given to civil servants in the criminal sphere, limiting freedom of expression with regard to public criticism on the part of the people, is not consistent with the order established by the Rule of Law in the Democratic States. It shows that alongside El Salvador and Brasil is isolated in classifying or maintaining the crime. To do so, it uses elements of Latin American constitutionalism and the doctrine of the Ius Constitutionale Commune as a strategy for comparative analysis, seeking to achieve some regional standards like the transformation of legal orders into processes of consolidating democracies.
