RESUMO

According to international criminal law and to international human rights law, this thesis aims to verify if the exercise of universal jurisdiction by national courts represents a mechanism of the international criminal justice able to promote and to strengthen human rights. In order to answer this question, three sources of international law were investigated: the teachings of publicists, judicial decisions and the internal law of some countries. This study assumed there is a transition going on in international law caused by the advances of human rights and analyzed how universal jurisdiction relates to it.
