O caso Mox de Sellafield - do projeto constitucionalista de Estado mundial ao Direito Internacional feudalizado: origens e consequências do atual conflito estrutural entre regimes autônomos de tratados

Abstract

This thesis aims to know if the fragmentation of International Law specifically, in terms of structural conflict between different ways of controversy soluctions, from diverses treaty regimes is merely a problem, still to be solved; something useful or desirable; or only a development from an historical process. In order to do it, the thesis starts from a concrete case, Mox de Sellafield , and analyses other similar concrete situations. Afterwards, are shown some doctrinal positions about this theme and some possible soluctions, procedural or not, are evaluated, hypothetically considering International Law´s fragmentation as a problem to be solved. In a following moment, in the absence of complete answers, an investigation of the historical origins of the International Law´s fragmentation begins, starting from the origins of the contemporary fragmentation´s pulse, in which we can perceive a strong correlation between flexible capitalism ecclosion and International Law´s changing, what could suggest a sort of intentionality at that last one. After this, this thesis investigates the historical origins of the systemic view of International Law, even because the concept of International Law fragmentation presupposes the idea of a previous unity. But, it is not because International Law does not constitute a system, in a strict technical sense, that its fragmentation does not brings some matters to International Law previsibility and coherence. Or yet, that International Law cannot be noticed as an existent and autonomous field of Law Science, because of its peculiar configuration. Finally, this thesis goes still back in time, investigating the repetition pulse, that alternates International Law fragmentation and unification, what allows to dismiss the possibility of considering any sort of intentionality as a decisive factor in the International Law fragmentation, taking in account how old and cyclical the phenomena presents itself
