FOCUS – SCOPE

The mission of the CONSINTER International Law Journal is:

a) promote individual autonomy through knowledge and culture so that, in a constructive and integrative way, the individual can leverage his destiny and, consequently, of the society in general;

b)integrate scholars from different national and foreign Universities providing value growth in scientific production within the most diverse countries.

Such desideratum will be instrumentalized by periodic meetings, where participants will be able to interact with each other. Also, each one will have the opportunity of an oral presentation of their unprecedented scientific contribution, as well as disseminating their work via physical and digital publications, both in Europe and in Brazil.

In this way, CONSINTER intends to boost the democratization of knowledge, the interaction between peoples and the consolidation of development, since in its view, the sum of contributions from different legal cultures will allow the current limits imposed by geography, and the economy to be overcome, expanding much knowledge. In addition to that, it will favor individual reflections committed to the values and principles that guide contemporary civilization.
