Two Brazilian female judges and one male judge will participate in the Cooperation Program with the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACHR). The initiative foresees direct involvement with the international court, with the objective of strengthening human rights training and expanding dialogue between the Brazilian Judiciary and the Inter-American System. The selection process was launched by the National Council of Justice (CNJ) in February of this year.
The selected individuals were Judge Flávia Martins de Carvalho, from the Court of Justice of São Paulo; Judge Ana Inés Algorta Latorre, from the Federal Regional Court of the 4th Region; and Judge Gilberto Schäfer, from the Court of Justice of Rio Grande do Sul. They met on Tuesday afternoon (April 7th) with the president of the CNJ, Minister Edson Fachin.
“This experience materializes the integration and support of the Brazilian Judiciary to the Court, moving from the dimension of commitments to the dimension of concrete action, so that we place the work that will be done there at a very high level of importance,” stated the minister. “This integration with the Court and with the Judiciary of other countries is fundamental so that we can create an institutional network for the defense of the Democratic Rule of Law,” added Fachin.
The program is part of a commitment agreement signed between the CNJ (National Council of Justice) and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights for capacity building and institutional support, focusing on improving the capabilities of the Judiciary and exchanging good jurisdictional practices. Those selected will work for up to two years at the Court's headquarters in San José, Costa Rica, collaborating on advisory and technical support activities.
Also participating in the meeting were the current president of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, Rodrigo Mudrovitsch, and the secretary-general of the National Council of Justice (CNJ), Clara Mota.
Selection and contribution
The selection process for the program was conducted by the CNJ (National Council of Justice) and offered three positions. Diversity criteria, such as gender, race, regional distribution, and origin within the judiciary, were considered in the selection. Requirements such as experience in human rights, academic and institutional background, and the potential for candidate contributions upon returning to Brazil were also taken into account.
At the end of the program, those selected will be required to submit an institutional report, contribute to the production of educational content for judicial schools, and participate in actions to disseminate the knowledge acquired within the scope of the Supreme Federal Court (STF), the National Council of Justice (CNJ), and the courts of origin, in order to reinforce the commitment to institutional return from the experience.
With this, the initiative seeks not only to improve judicial performance in human rights matters, but also to foster the training of judicial leaders committed to promoting these rights in Brazil and the region.
