Abstract

The justifications for the globalization of criminal law relate to the phenomenon of crime, given that crime began to take on different forms after the technological revolution that swept the world and changed the course of crime and its data from the real physical world to the virtual world. Accordingly, traditional legal texts, both substantive and procedural, are no longer able to confront crime in its new form. Therefore, they need to keep pace with the globalization of crime through the globalization of the criminal text as well. This can only be achieved through a set of procedures that fall on the state without compromising or diminishing its sovereignty. Some of these procedures are achieved by reviewing existing criminal legislation, or by concluding bilateral agreements or joining collective agreements that adopt the protection of human rights, or that prohibit the practice of some criminal activities to limit the spread of the criminal phenomenon.
