Abstract

This article aims to analyze some cases of human rights violations involving the Federative Republic of Brazil before the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights and its developments at the domestic level regarding legislative production and the creation of public policies, specifically the cases (1) Sebastião Camargo Filho (petition no. 12,310), (2) Wallace de Almeida (petition no. 12,440), (3) Manoel Leal de Oliveira (petition no. 12,308) and (4) Aristeu Guida da Silva and family (petition no. 12,213). The study is of interest because, although the State undertakes to comply with international legal standards for the protection of human rights, it is evident that, on many occasions, it ends up failing to comply with them, giving rise to the appreciation of the matter by international bodies with reflections for the internal regulatory system. In view of this, the use of the inductive approach method is highlighted, followed by the descriptive model of analysis of the referred cases, and the documentary and bibliographic procedures regarding the bibliography selection.
