Inovação na apuração de denúncia de violação dos direitos humanos no sistema prisional do Tocantins: uma proposta de protocolo básico de atuação

Abstract

The research is primarily focused on Human Rights, which encompasses values considered common by various nations and defines universal legal guarantees that protect individuals and groups against state actions and omissions that violate rights based on respect for equality and human dignity. In light of the pandemic scenario caused by the spread of the coronavirus - COVID-19 worldwide, Brazil and, consequently, the Government of the State of Tocantins, decreed the isolation/restriction of prisoners from receiving visits from family members and attorneys. This measure led to numerous reports of human dignity violations, prompting the OAB/TO to establish a Special Commission to investigate such reports in the prison system due to the exceptional situation imposed by the pandemic and to address this social demand. Using the inductive research method for an innovation model, this study aims to develop a proposal for a basic protocol for legal professionals to investigate reports of human rights violations in the prison system of the State of Tocantins, by the Brazilian Bar Association - Tocantins Section, with a focus on organizational innovation for the systematization of collecting, organizing, and expediting solutions to problems within the criminal justice system.
