70 ANOS DA DECLARAÇÃO UNIVERSAL DOS DIREITOS HUMANOS
30 ANOS DA CONSTITUIÇÃO DE 1988
Brazilian history is characterized by serious violations of the most fundamental human rights. Although this violence has never been given proper attention by part of the country, there has been undeniable progress under the aegis of the 1988 Constitution. We can not allow setbacks.
The disrespect of human rights, which incidence may increase because of threats unleashed during the recent electoral process, unrelentingly affects the most discriminated sectors of society, made vulnerable by their race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, social and economic status.
In other difficult moments, Brazil realized the importance of human rights organizations pluralistically composed by members of civil society. These entities have demonstrated, even in dramatic scenarios, the indispensable surveillance to provide visibility and legal processing to crimes committed by agents of the State.
The establishment of the Arns Commission for Human Rights Defense strives to help protect the physical integrity, freedom and human dignity of those who may be threatened in this new difficult period of Brazilian history.
With the presence of members of previous entities in this new commission, we intend to gather past experiences with the intent of preserving the future. This is also the reason we pay homage to Cardinal Dom Paulo Evaristo Arns (1921-2016) who, above religious, political, social and ideological differences, was able to join forces in favor of human rights in the most difficult time of the dictatorial regime established in 1964.
From the meeting of old and new human rights advocates, the aim of the commission is to contribute to the visibility and legal follow-up in national and international instances to cases of serious human rights violations motivated by hatred and intolerance, as well as restrictions on the exercise of civil liberties and participation in political life.
Arns Commission intends to work in an articulated way with the numerous human rights defense and research organizations already existing in Brazil. The plural unity of those who uphold the inviolability of human rights, within the framework of international treaties and conventions that the Brazilian State has agreed upon, is our common ground.
