Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the impact that the emergence of new powers (especially Biopower and relating issues) causes in the structures of modern society. In particular, it is focused on the capacity of nations to create laws and on their Constitutional Law, since nations have no solutions to the contemporary issues, such as nanotechnology. In this scope, the goal is also to analyze the usefulness of International Law as a law common to all countries, working in human rights protection and particularly in human dignity, when confronting nanotechnology research. To do so, a theoretical and qualitative research was carried out on this matter in order to review part of the existing literature, due to the limits of the paper. Key words: new powers, Biolaw, sovereignty, human rights, common good, International Law, nanotechnology.
