Desaparecimento forçado de pessoas na América Latina sob a perspectiva do Estado democrático de direito

Abstract

Disappearance is something present in any society. It is no wonder that international law recognizes the forced disappearance of people as a crime against all humanity. Human rights are, in these cases, immediately infringed and violated in a forceful way. In this sense, the Democratic State of Law is a bridge to prosecution in societies where disappearing cannot be a rule and something common, much less in so-called democratic States. In this sense, the Democratic State of Law is a bridge to the pursuit of a society where disappearing is neither the rule nor usual, even in Democratic States. Based on this understanding, the general objective of this study is to analyze the Enforced Disappearance of People from a perspective of the Democratic Rule of Law. To carry out this study, the following methodological aspects of research will be used: bibliographic, documentary, exploratory, descriptive and qualitative research. Starting from the analysis of aspects related to Human Rights, the forced disappearance of people and its practice even in Democratic States, there is a need for a deeper analysis of this topic, since it hurts the human dignity of the individual and violates international legislation. In this study, cases of enforced disappearance in Latin American are highlighted, as well as the performance of commissions related to the protection and defense of the human righst os people who are victims of this type of violence. Thus, Enforced disappearance is a complex international phenomenon, which affects areas far beyond law and politics, but also public security and public management, even going beyond socioeconomic issues, as well as democratic perspectives on the phenomenon and its possible solutions depend primarily on of public visibility and its construction as an international legal-political-social problem, which should be treated as a matter of paramount importance by international society.
