O impacto das decisões da corte interamericana de direitos humanos na política doméstica do Brasil: o caso nova Brasília

Abstract

This research addresses the Nova Brasília Case, judged by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, focusing on its relevance to International Relations and Human Rights. The analysis explores the impact of structural racism and police violence in Brazil, examining the interactions between civil society, the State, and international organizations in the formulation of inclusive and fair public policies. The methodology employed is based on a bibliographic review of studies related to the Inter-American Human Rights System, including the boomerang model, which highlights the articulation of civil society organizations with international instances to pressure for internal changes. Additionally, the study analyzes the case’s developments in the Brazilian context, particularly the application of non-repetition guarantees and the challenges faced in implementing the reparatory measures determined by the Court. The main findings indicate that, although Brazil’s acknowledgment of international responsibility represents a significant milestone, the partial implementation of recommendations reflects structural and political limitations that hinder concrete progress. Furthermore, the research highlights the interdependence between international decisions and national judicial mechanisms, as observed in the relationship between the Nova Brasília Case ruling and the measures determined in ADPF 635 by the Brazilian Supreme Federal Court. The study concludes that overcoming institutional weaknesses and addressing the challenges of structural racism and police violence requires strengthening cooperation between national and international spheres. This research contributes to the field of International Relations by demonstrating the strategic role of Inter-American institutions in promoting justice and strengthening human rights in Brazil.
