Análise do caso dos empregados da fábrica de fogos de Santo Antônio de Jesus na Corte Interamericana de Direitos Humanos e seus impactos no Brasil

Abstract

The case of the employees of the Santo Antônio de Jesus fireworks factory refers to a situation that gained prominence due to the precarious working conditions faced by the employees of this factory located in the city of Santo Antônio de Jesus, in the state of Bahia, Brazil. This issue was brought to the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (CIDH), an international legal body that oversees the protection of human rights in the Americas, highlighting labor practices that violate workers' rights, including hazardous working conditions, excessive working hours, and exposure to toxic substances. Brought before the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, it underscored the responsibility of the Brazilian state in protecting human rights. The analysis of the case by the Court had the potential to set significant precedents and influence labor policies not only in Brazil but throughout the region, promoting the protection of workers' rights.
