Internacionalização, eficácia e aplicabilidade dos direitos humanos na legislação brasileira e sua correlação

Abstract

The present work intends to examine how human rights were developed in humanity from essential episodes of the Middle and Modern Ages to their current state in the Contemporary Age, highlighting the main points necessary to approach their internationalization and later their inclusion in Brazilian legislation. As a point of analysis, this monograph opted for the studying of doctrines and jurisprudences. From this perspective, this work initially sought to address the historical context in order to externalize its international connection, and then insert it into the Brazilian legal sphere. Consequently, the entire history of constitutions that have once been in force in Brazil are elucidated and the evolution of their fundamental rights and guarantees. With these points clarified, the international human rights treaties and their hierarchy in national legislation are exposed. That said, it is necessary to demonstrate the international courts to which Brazil is subject
