Recife, Brazil (19 July 2024) – The Human Rights Clinic of the Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE) and the Facts and Norms Institute (FNI) have jointly submitted a new Amicus Curiae Memorial to the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, marking another step in the pursuit of justice for victims of the Brazilian dictatorship. This Memorial focuses on the case of Denise Peres Crispim, Eduardo Collen Leite, and Others Vs. Brazil, highlighting the transgenerational impact of state violence and the urgent need for transitional justice measures. Key arguments presented in the Memorial include: - State violence as a systemic issue: The brief exposes the continuous and pervasive nature of state violence in Brazil, drawing a stark connection between the brutal practices of the dictatorship era and the ongoing police violence that disproportionately affects marginalized communities. - Transgenerational impact of exile: The Memorial underscores the devastating consequences of forced exile, highlighting the psychological and emotional trauma inflicted upon Denise and Eduarda, who were forced to flee their homeland and reconstruct their lives in a foreign land. This analysis emphasizes the need for reparations that address the unique experiences of children who have inherited the legacy of their parents' persecution. - Violation of fundamental rights: The brief meticulously documents the violation of numerous rights enshrined in the American Convention on Human Rights, including the right to life, liberty, personal security, a fair trial, and freedom from torture. It also stresses the State's failure to protect the right to a name and nationality for Eduarda, who was born into exile and faced years of bureaucratic hurdles to have her identity legally recognized. - Indigeneous populations, a parallel struggle: The Memorial draws a compelling parallel between the experiences of Denise and Eduarda and the systemic violations endured by Indigenous populations during the dictatorship. It emphasizes how forced assimilation policies, land dispossession, and cultural suppression have inflicted transgenerational trauma on these communities, demanding a comprehensive approach to truth, justice, and reparations. - Justice with attention to women's rights: The Memorial makes a powerful call for a gender-focused approach to transitional justice, emphasizing the specific forms of violence and discrimination faced by women during the dictatorship. It critiques the lack of gender sensitivity in existing transitional justice mechanisms in Brazil. It argues that the State has failed to recognize the particular vulnerabilities of women, including the use of sexual violence as a tool of repression and the lasting impact of forced separation from families and communities.

You should watch this excellent post. I saw much of this coming at Manchester in 1978. The Age of Reason did not understand what reason is. We are paying for the consequences of not understanding that respect for disagreement / contradiction is necessary to break out of the closed system of logic. This process is called 'being reasonable'. https://t.ly/sH1hB Closed systems make closed minds. Leibniz, Kant, Marx, Wittgenstein, Postmodernism etc:- all effectively deny reason because they failed to understand the significance of contradiction and how it determines humanity. Most academics appear incapable of grasping this monumentally simple fact- The Paradoxes of Reason are blinkered out of their comprehension Reason is the enemy of ideology. I wrote about foundations of society and met academic fury of artificial stupidity now common today. This is a pdf. It takes a bit of time to download. https://t.ly/_VQZa

⚫️🌒🌓 🌟 Justice: More Than Equality 🤝 Today, justice may mean different things to different people, but there is a common thread: Justice embodies living honorably, not harming others, and ensuring everyone receives their due. The definition of justice by a Roman jurist still holds true: Justice means giving others their due. However, it's not just about equality; it's also about a personalized approach based on needs and circumstances. Religions and philosophers have emphasized the importance of justice. However, justice often seems like an elusive goal. Why is that? Powerful and authoritative figures can manipulate the definition of justice in their favor. Therefore, as societies continue to seek justice, we must strive to find true justice for everyone. Remember, justice is not just about equality; it also considers individual needs. We must work together to build a fair world for all. 🌍💪 #Justice #Equality #SocialValues #Collaboration #RealJustice

Democracy remains a dynamic and evolving system, continually striving to balance the ideals of freedom, equality, and justice. While it is not without flaws, its emphasis on popular sovereignty and the protection of individual rights makes it a compelling model for governance. The strength of a democracy lies in its ability to adapt and respond to the needs and aspirations of its people. In the words of the late Nigerian novelist and Poet Chinua Achebe “A functioning and robust democracy requires a healthy, educated, participatory followership, and an educated, morally grounded leadership”. As we celebrate democracy day as a nation, may the actual democracy we all desire become a reality. Happy Democracy Day 🇳🇬 #Unity #Equality #Fairness #HappyDemocracyDay
