CONTEMPORARY SLAVERY IN BRAZIL: THE CASE 11,289 (JOSÉ PEREIRA) IN THE INTER-AMERICAN COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS
Abstract
The scope of this paper is to analyze the Case 11,289 (José Pereira) in the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, checking the effects of the public recognition of the responsibility of the Brazilian State in relation to the violation of human rights and the commitments made by Brazil, contained in the National Plan for the Eradication of Slave Labour, to implement actions and legislative changes to monitor and repress slave labour and slavery prevention mechanisms. The case study provides an analytical frame within which this case of contemporary slavery in Brazil, with its consequences on the Brazilians decisions, projects, policies and institutions, is illuminated and explained.Downloads
