Abstract

In Latin-American countries, all greatly marked by social inequality, the access to justice is of substantial importance, due to the fact that it is the only mean to ensure an effective implementation of the Human Rights guidelines. This paper aims to analyze the merits reports issued by the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) in which Brazil was a part of, in order to point out the breaches in the process of access to justice in the aforementioned country. In view of this analysis, the research results from the Human Rights, State and Public Policies Research Center of the Ponta Grossa State University Postgraduate Program in Applied Social Sciences were correlated. The research was developed both in quantitative and qualitative molds, from august to november 2018; it is a case study in which data on programs aimed to facilitate the access to justice by the locals in Ponta Grossa were collected and analyzed. This work was performed by the guidelines of a deductive approach. Interview forms, bibliographic and documental research were the methodological procedures to develop this paper. The analyzed data from the IACHR reports showed that the breaches in the access to justice mainly refer to manslaughter and assault with the attempt to commit murder performed mostly by police officers. In these situations, two aspects prevailed: slowness in the procedural steps and flaws in the process of evidence gathering. The research made in Ponta Grossa showed that there are no programs aimed to decrease the breaches found in the reports. In conclusion, the elaboration of effective means to decrease these breaches is extremely necessary, as it is to overcome any and all of the social and political inequality caused by those breaches.
