GLOBALIZATION OF CRIMINAL LEGISLATION AND THE REQUIREMENTS TO ACHIEVE IT

  The phenomenon of globalization extended to many sectors worldwide, most notably trade and technology, and the matter apparently reached legislation through the conclusion of a large number of international agreements related to the regulation of legal issues related to criminalization and the protection of human rights. It contributed to achieving a strong convergence between the criminal legislation of the countries of the world with the aim of achieving its complete unification in the future. Criminal legislation is to be based on sources that contribute to the preparation for its realization, and it shows us that its sources are embodied in legislative theories such as comparative studies and legislative conferences through which calls are made for the unification of criminal legislation, and governmental organizations and non-governmental organizations are also considered as sources. We have concluded that it is embodied in joining conventions on criminalization, protection of human rights, and legislative alignment. One of the most important results we have reached is that the legislation of the countries of the world has begun to respond to the phenomenon of globalization of criminal legislation in line with the international obligations that are regulated by general international conventions by reviewing many of their criminal legislation. The recommendations that we called for the need to harmonize national legislation with international conventions in the manner of special legislation or inclusion in general legislation, especially in criminalizing the actions of organized criminal groups.
