Homotransphobia in Brazil: A precarious life projec
Keywords
Abstract
The article aims to discuss about the decisions of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights in the cases of Advisory Opinion 24 of 2017 and the case of Vicky Rodriguez v. Honduras of 2021. The approach seeks to critically discuss how the Brazilian legal system receives the decisions of the regional human rights system. Both cases concern the protection of social minorities, such as the LGTQIA+ community. As sources of research, we used the materials of court cases and bibliographic material with a critical approach to the subject, a critical approach to human rights, a critical approach to criminal law and to theory of law. The result of this article is to indicate the feasibility and convenience of adopting the view that the decisions of the inter-American system are binding and should be adopted by national jurisdictions.
