The influence of International Organizations on the sovereignty of Nations: The problem of a Constitution – and Citizenship –
Global in the thinking of Habermas

Human Rights; Perpetual Peace; Inclusion of the Other; Power; Globalism

The present work is intended to study the influence of the global organisms created in the last century and their intervention at the Nation’s sovereignty, based on the study of Habermas’ work”. From Kant’s inspiration in his “Perpetual Peace”, the international society unites itself in organisms with the goal to make the war an unlawful way to solve conflicts, besides universalizing determined basic rights. That situation generates a problem when faced by the freedom of the sovereigns countries to create their own law. The unlimited global power can be the object of desire of the imperialist nations, using those organisms to impose their agendas globally. Therefore, the work intends to comprehend those relations and the danger of a global tyranny, derived from a global Constitution. The constitutionalization of the International law under the pretext of the protection of the human rights, as proposed by Habermas, matches with the idea of a imperialist and colonialist west, that imposes it’s values and normativity, considered as universal ways to be recepted by the “rest” of the planet.
