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