Lines of Research:
- International Cooperation and Human Rights
The purpose of this Line of Research is to investigate the repercussions of international cooperation among independent states and the relationship between these and other international actors and their agendas, from the perspective of their effects on the internal legal system, especially concerning the formulation of policies and legislative, judicial and administrative activities. This line investigates the content of cooperative acts between sovereign states and agreements between states and other international actors, as the legal basis of international cooperation itself, considering international cooperation as the set of legal and political governance instruments for access to justice and for solving international problems of economic, social, cultural or humanitarian nature, promoting and encouraging respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms for all Decree No. 19,841 / 45 – and OAS Charter – Decree 30.544 / 52).
- Human Rights and Public Policy
The aim of this Line of Research is to identify and analyze the relationship between the implementation of public policies and the promotion of human rights at the national level. Public policy theory is understood as a multidisciplinary field through which governmental options for action are analyzed and evaluated, among other things, to promote or guarantee rights. In this way, public policies, after being designed and formulated, are broken down into plans, programs, projects, databases or information and research systems, which, once put into action, are implemented and are subjects to systems of evaluation, monitoring and, ultimately, jurisdictional control.
