Abstract

This research aims to portray the work of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights regarding
the denunciations received about the human rights violations committed by the Brazilian State during
the period of the military dictatorship. In order to carry out such research, I conducted a bibliographic
review and documentary analysis of letters exchanged on some of the cases brought to the InterAmerican Commission on Human Rights between 1970 and 1975, analyzing their respective
contextualization and the solutions presented by the organization. This article approaches the InterAmerican Commission on Human Rights and its work in the period of the dictatorship, using as object
of study some of the cases denounced. Based on this, the position of the Inter-American Commission
against the denunciations received during the period and the effectiveness of the organization
regarding human rights were evaluated.
