Summary: Communitarianism is one of the philosophical currents with the greatest presence in the current academic debate, opposing the premises of liberalism. Thus, communitarianism defends the preeminence of the ethical values existing in communities and the idea of membership over the notions of rights and justice. This article analyzes the legitimacy of the influence of communitarian philosophy on criminal law by studying the configuration of a criminal law articulated on the defense of communitarian ethical values. The article begins by analyzing the communitarianismliberalism binomial. It also studies the position of the doctrine in relation to liberal neutrality and the positions concerning the existence of an ethical minimum. The essay argues that criminal law should be neutral without reflecting the dominant values of a given community. In addition, different manifestations of communitarian criminal law (the criminal law of the enemy, the criminal law of aporophobia, and political crimes) are analyzed. The article concludes with their inadmissibility in the framework of democratic states under the rule of law.
