Abstract

The article describes, without considering particular cases — and preferably by consulting the work of Günther Jakobs and some of his commentators — the main features of the Criminal Law of the Enemy, abstractly. This, so as to evaluate their compatibility with the concept of Human Dignity, present in the majority of contemporary constitutional systems as well as in Human Rights protection systems. It is argued by applying the general statement, proposed by the theoretical neoconstitutionalism, specially the principle that stresses the hierarchical structure of legal systems, in which the existence of a law depends on its compatibility and adequacy relative to higher laws. Through this work, we focus on the main non-positivism in the theory of law. It proposes that laws that recognize the Criminal Law of the Enemy are unconstitutional if Human Dignity is included in the pertaining legal system's Constitution. It concludes reflecting on some features of Criminal Law of the Enemy, which cause irreconcilable issues with the concept of Human Dignity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
