Due to a historic debt regarding the incorporation of human rights in the lives of citizens and the risks of setbacks in achievements celebrated in the 1988 Constitution, a group of Brazilians decided to constitute the Commission for the Defense of Dom Paulo Evaristo Arns Human Rights.
There are 20 personalities from the political world, jurists, academics, intellectuals, journalists and social activists from different generations, whose common denominator has been the permanent defense of human rights. The group acts on a voluntary, non-partisan basis, alongside thousands of human rights defenders across the country. Check it out here.
