| Sumario: | The present paper ponders the ways through which Brazil has been dea-ling with the problem of internatio-nal terrorism, given that the country is not a target of terrorist attacks so far. It is particularly opportune to raise this question when Brazil has gained more international visibility due to the World Cup, Olympics but also after the country’s decision to send troops to Lebanon. The paper presents the Brazilian policies to pre-vent and fight terrorism, considering its commitment to international tre-aties and conventions. It also addres-ses domestic norms and institutions created over the past decades to deal with the problem. Particularly, the paper presents the recently appro-ved anti-terrorist bill through which Brazil typifies terrorism and introdu-ces to the domestic law specific pe-nalties and procedures to prosecute those directly or indirectly accused of involvement with this crime. The paper also shed light to many criti-cism the new bill has received and problematizes the extent to which Brazil needs a specific anti-terrorism legislations. |
