Abstract EN:

The development of international criminality is a new phenomenon in that it encompasses new aspects of criminality unknown until recently, and which requires the elaboration of new policies of repression on a global stage. Besides the issues concerning the definition of such criminal acts, which differentiates them from traditional criminality and whose international character submit them to private international law, it is possible to argue for a criminality of superposition underpinned by interstate regulation, and nourishing itself from the advantages and opportunities provided by globalization. In deed, international criminality has acquired new capacities of nuisance which allow criminal groups to perform illegal actions largely equivalent to what any regular state would do if it decided to break international laws. The object of this research is concerned with the design of such criminal policies which would be global-efficient, and aimed at substantially reducing criminal acts, while giving precedence to human rights as observed in the great western democracies. Hence, it is most crucial to determine the objective conditions inferred from a thorough analysis of global economical crime, and especially money-laundering, which would render any penal sanction plainly efficient in the scope of policies set to lower the levels of criminality. This would consequently discard all the errors and failures due to mere internal approaches to global crime, and therefore cast light on the genuine Criminal chain across the nations, whose individual responsability must be rated differently.
