Internalização do regime internacional dos direitos humanos pós-conferência de Viena, em 1993: o caso brasileiro

Abstract

The present work has as its object of study the internalization, in Brazil, of the international regime of human rights derived from the II World Conference on Human Rights held in Vienna in 1993. This work was done by analyzing the internalization of the guidelines of that Conference in the three editions of the "National Program of Human Rights" (PNDHs) developed in 1996 and 2002, during the government of Fernando Henrique Cardoso, and in 2010, in the government Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. To analyze the internalization of the guidelines of the Vienna Conference the content and ideas of the three editions of National Program of Human Rights (1996, 2002, and 2010) are compared. For this purpose, we used the generations of the rights to verify the continuities, advances and improvements in terms of incorporating of the Vienna Conference´s guidelines on the PNDHs. It can be stated the internalization of the international regime to the extent that the PNDHs incorporate guarantees for physical and moral integrity, right to freedom of opinion and expression, equality under the law, in particular groups vulnerable and/or historically discriminated, right to education with emphasis on a culture for human rights, right to health, welfare and social assistance, right to work, access to land housing, a healthy environment, food, culture and leisure and the right to sustainable development with the fight against poverty and misery in the country. Other guidelines were addressed in three PNDHs such as the importance of supporting non-governmental organizations and the ratification of international conventions on human rights, the construction of the institutional promotion and protection of the rights involving the Federal Government and the development of administrative and judicial actions as well as other ways to prevent and punish acts of enforced disappearances for political reasons.
