FILIPPON, Carolina. Opacity in Global Agreements. A Socio-Legal Approach about Secrecy in the Legal Field. []. , 119, pp.29-50. ISSN 2182-7435.  https://doi.org/10.4000/rccs.8989.

In the field of private global regimes, arrangements and practices between actors in the transnational private sector and the State exhibit a level of opacity that has hampered the exercise of fundamental rights, such as access to public information. We consider it fundamental to explore this tension between private global regimes and the field of human rights via the study of the institutional and legal variables of secrecy to account for the functional nature of the opacity of the law and the processes of publicity that allowed for redefinition as a public problem in the legal field.
