O Código Penal Criminal Brasileiro fundamentalmente protege os direitos individuais através de princípios jurídicos fundamentais. Enraizado na Constitution[3] de 1988, estabelece que nenhum crime pode ser definido ou punido sem previsão legal prévia. O system[4] proíbe pena de death[5] (exceto durante guerra), sentenças perpétuas, trabalho forçado, banimento e punições cruéis. Os limites constitucionais asseguram certeza jurídica e previnem ações estatais arbitrárias, refletindo uma abordagem moderna que reconhece os human rights[2] fundamentais dos condenados. O princípio de “Nullum Crimen, Nulla Poena Sine Lege” restringe o poder estatal ao exigir legislação preexistente para a persecução criminal. Esta estrutura equilibra o public interest[1] na aplicação da law[6] com liberdades individuais, priorizando a dignidade humana e a reabilitação sobre medidas punitivas. O sistema jurídico evoluiu de uma visão dos réus como sujeitos sem direitos para reconhecer suas proteções constitucionais fundamentais.

Terms definitions
1. public interest. The public interest is a complex concept to define precisely, involving political, sociological and legal perspectives. Rooted in historical philosophies from Aristotle to the French Revolution, it represents the collective well-being of society. Scholars such as Dalmo de Abreu Dallari and Ernest S. Griffith have proposed various analytical frameworks to understand its essence. The concept plays a crucial role in Administrative Law, evolving from the protection of individual rights to satisfying broader societal needs. Despite its importance, the public interest is criticised for its ambiguity and potential for manipulation. Critics such as Lenio Luiz Streck argue that it lacks substantive meaning. Practical application requires clear criteria, balancing public and private interests, ensuring transparency and accountability in decision-making. Ultimately, the public interest aims to serve social welfare by adapting to changing social values and emerging collective needs.
2. human rights. Human rights are fundamental freedoms and protections inherent to all human beings, regardless of race, gender, nationality or status. Rooted in the philosophical traditions of natural rights and social contract theories, they encompass civil, political, economic, social and cultural dimensions. The modern model of human rights emerged after the Second World War, with the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights serving as its cornerstone. International and regional systems such as the European Convention on Human Rights and the Inter-American Commission have developed mechanisms to monitor and enforce these rights. Key organisations such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch advocate globally for human dignity. Contemporary challenges include addressing ongoing violations, balancing universal principles with cultural contexts and confronting emerging issues such as digital rights and environmental protections. The field continues to evolve, reflecting complex global dynamics of justice, equality and human dignity.
