The Constitution emerged from the struggle against the military dictatorship (1964-1985) and reflects a commitment to democracy, human dignity, and social justice. Brazil is party to major international human rights treaties and accepts the contentious jurisdiction of the <strong>Inter-American Court of Human Rights</strong>.</p>
