O sistema interamericano de proteção dos direitos humanos e a influência na implementação de politicas públicas no Brasil: estudo de caso Maria da Penha Maia Fernandes

Abstract

This monograph is dedicated to the study on the effect that the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights had on the Brazilian State, implying the redefinition of state sovereignty, based on recommendations made to Brazil, for not providing legal apparatus and putting at risk the life of the brazilian Maria da Penha Maia Fernandes, denouncer and victim. Based on the responsibility of the Inter-American Commission, which involves negligence, omission and tolerance in relation to domestic violence against women, the present study focuses its studies on the effective results in internal issues, seeking to discuss the formulation of a new law and public policies aimed at protecting women. Considering that the Commission understood that the State was not complying with the commitment made through an act of sovereignty, it is necessary to discuss here the modification of the domestic legal order to meet the purpose of defending Human Rights, in the specific case of women.
