O Brasil Denunciado à ONU

 

O Brasil Denunciado à ONU: Chega de Injustiça Disfarçada de Normalidade!

Nesta semana, protocolei oficialmente uma manifestação ao Alto Comissariado das Nações Unidas para os Direitos Humanos (OHCHR), em nome de todos os brasileiros que estão cansados de viver sob um sistema que nega direitos básicos e perpetua desigualdades estruturais. A submissão foi feita diretamente no canal oficial das Nações Unidas destinado à denúncia de violações sistemáticas de direitos humanos.

Por que recorremos à ONU?

Porque o Brasil precisa ser cobrado internacionalmente pelas práticas e omissões que afetam milhões de brasileiros todos os dias. Entre os principais pontos denunciados:

📌 Salário Mínimo de Miséria – R$ 1.518 em 2025, enquanto o DIEESE aponta que seriam necessários mais de R$ 6.900 para garantir dignidade. Isso é política de empobrecimento, não de valorização do trabalho.

📌 Fracasso na Cota para PcD no Setor Público – A reserva de 10% para pessoas com deficiência é burlada por um sistema que fragmenta a cota regionalmente, inviabilizando seu cumprimento. Isso é discriminação institucionalizada.

📌 Aposentadoria Reduzida – A Reforma da Previdência de 2019 empurrou milhões de idosos para a vulnerabilidade, especialmente os mais pobres e PcDs. Isso fere o direito à dignidade na velhice.

📌 Desigualdade Estrutural e Injustiça Fiscal – O 1% mais rico detém quase metade da renda do país, e nenhuma fortuna é taxada, apesar da Constituição prever isso desde 1988. O povo paga a conta, os bilionários lucram.

📌 Sistema Político Capturado – A democracia é esvaziada por um sistema que ignora a população, suprime a participação cidadã e protege interesses de elites econômicas.

Não é um problema pontual. É um colapso de direitos.

Solicitei à ONU:

• Monitoramento internacional sobre as violações sociais e econômicas no Brasil.

• Intervenção de Relatores Especiais da ONU nas áreas de pobreza extrema, PcD, trabalho decente e justiça fiscal.

• Comunicação oficial ao Estado Brasileiro exigindo alinhamento com os compromissos internacionais assumidos.

• E, se necessário, uma visita in loco para investigação direta das violações.

Formulário oficial da ONU:

Submission to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR)
Subject: Request for Monitoring: Systemic Violations of Social and Economic Rights in Brazil

Dear United Nations Representatives,

I respectfully submit this communication as a Brazilian citizen, public servant, and person with a disability to denounce ongoing and deeply rooted violations of economic and social rights in Brazil. These violations affect me personally and also harm large segments of the Brazilian population, especially low-income workers, retirees, persons with disabilities (PWD), and other vulnerable groups subjected to cycles of structural exclusion.

These patterns of injustice contradict Brazil’s obligations under international human rights treaties (such as the ICESCR and CRPD) and compromise its commitments to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

1. Poverty Wages Below Living Standards

The 2025 minimum wage (R$ 1,518.00) is far below the real cost of living. According to DIEESE, a living wage should exceed R$ 6,900. Millions of families are trapped in a situation where full-time employment does not prevent poverty. This violates:

• UDHR Art. 23
• ICESCR Arts. 6 and 11
• SDG 1.2 and 8.5

 

A national wage policy that fails to ensure dignity is incompatible with international human rights norms.

2. Discrimination Against PWDs in Public Hiring

Despite the legal 10% quota for persons with disabilities in public recruitment, its fragmented application in the state of Minas Gerais nullifies its effect. Positions are distributed regionally in micro-quotas that often result in zero vacancies for PWDs. This violates CRPD Art. 27 and constitutes:

• Indirect institutional discrimination
• Bureaucratic manipulation under legal appearance
• Chronic exclusion of qualified disabled professionals

 

3. Unjust Pension Reform and Elderly Vulnerability

The 2019 pension reform (EC 103/2019) cut benefits, particularly impacting older and disabled workers. Many retirees live below the poverty line. This undermines:

• ICESCR Art. 9
• UDHR Art. 25
• SDG Target 1.3 

The right to a secure and dignified old age is being eroded in one of the world’s most unequal societies.

4. Extreme Inequality and Absence of Fiscal Justice

Brazil remains among the most unequal nations. The top 1% controls nearly half the country’s income. Despite a constitutional mandate (Art. 153, VII), no wealth tax has been implemented in over 35 years. This violates:

• ICESCR Art. 2
• SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities)

This fiscal void perpetuates structural injustice, weakening democracy and solidarity.

5. Political Detachment from the Common Good

Public institutions lack transparency, social dialogue, and accountability. Populations most in need are often ignored or unheard. These democratic deficits contradict the spirit of international cooperation and human rights advancement.

Actions Taken Nationally

I have submitted formal complaints to national agencies, including the Public Prosecutor’s Office and the Ombudsman, yet no structural reforms or corrective actions have been implemented. Legal loopholes and bureaucratic resistance are used to preserve the status quo.

Request to the United Nations

In light of these facts, I respectfully urge this Office to:

1. Recognize the urgency of international monitoring of Brazil’s economic and social rights situation.
2. Activate Special Rapporteurs on extreme poverty, PWDs, aging, inequality, and decent work.
3. Issue formal communications to the Brazilian Government requesting alignment with human rights standards.
4. Consider an in-country visit or thematic inquiry on systemic violations.

With commitment to justice and human dignity, I thank you for your attention and remain available for any clarification.

Carta ao Relator Especial da ONU sobre Pobreza Extrema e Direitos Humanos

To:

Mr. Olivier De Schutter

Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights

Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR)

Email: srpoverty@ohchr.org

 

Subject: Request for International Action Regarding Structural Violations of Social and Economic Rights in Brazil

Dear Mr. De Schutter,

I respectfully address this communication as a Brazilian public servant, person with disability (PWD), and citizen directly affected by systemic injustices, to request urgent attention from your mandate regarding the deep-rooted violations of economic, social, and human rights in Brazil, which continue to harm millions — especially low-income workers, retirees, PWDs, and other vulnerable populations.

Despite its wealth, natural resources, and formal commitment to international treaties such as the ICESCR and the 2030 Agenda, Brazil perpetuates policies and practices that entrench poverty, exacerbate inequality, and dismantle the conditions necessary for human dignity.

1. Minimum Wage Policy and Institutionalized Poverty

The national minimum wage (R$ 1,518.00 in 2025) is less than one-fourth of what is necessary for a dignified life (DIEESE estimates R$ 6,900.00). This wage does not cover basic human needs such as food, housing, transportation, and health, violating:

• Article 23 of the UDHR
• Articles 6 and 11 of the ICESCR
• SDGs 1.2 and 8.5

 

Rather than alleviating poverty, this wage policy creates and sustains it.

2. Pension Reform and Elderly Vulnerability

The 2019 Pension Reform (EC 103/2019) has reduced retirement income, especially for low-income and disabled workers. Many retirees now live below the poverty line, in direct violation of:

• Article 9 – ICESCR
• Article 25 – UDHR
• SDG 1.3

 

There is no guarantee of a dignified standard of living for aging citizens.

3. Violation of Disability Quotas in Public Employment

While the law mandates a 10% quota for persons with disabilities in public service, administrative fragmentation across 47 regional education offices in Minas Gerais prevents the quota from being effectively implemented.

This violates:

• Article 27 – CRPD
• Principles of non-discrimination and inclusion

 

Qualified PWDs are systematically excluded, with no national mechanism for enforcement or accountability.

4. Extreme Inequality and Fiscal Injustice

Brazil ranks among the most unequal countries in the world. The richest 1% controls nearly half the national wealth. There is still no taxation on great fortunes, despite constitutional provision since 1988.

This scenario:

• Violates Article 2 – ICESCR
• Contradicts SDG 10 on reduction of inequalities
• Reinforces the structural causes of poverty

 

5. Collapse of Democratic Participation and Institutional Opacity

The political system is increasingly detached from the people, undermining democratic governance. Decision-making processes lack transparency, public participation, and responsiveness, particularly regarding socioeconomic rights and budget justice.

This environment:

• Suppresses democratic voice
• Erodes public confidence
• Violates SDG 16 – Institutions for Peace and Justice

 

Requested Actions from the UN Special Rapporteur

In light of the structural nature of these violations, I respectfully request:

1. International monitoring of Brazil’s wage, pension, disability, and taxation policies as mechanisms of poverty reproduction;
2. Communication with the Brazilian Government recommending urgent reforms aligned with international human rights obligations;
3. Public statement from your mandate calling attention to these violations;
4. Invitation to visit Brazil and engage with civil society, unions, public servants, and marginalized communities;
5. Inclusion of these cases in your thematic reports and future assessments of global poverty.

Who is Affected?

These violations impact not only me personally, but millions of Brazilians — workers, PWDs, retirees, the poor, and marginalized populations. The consequences are systemic, cumulative, and intergenerational, feeding cycles of poverty, exclusion, and institutional abandonment.

With hope, urgency, and trust in the UN human rights system, I thank you for your attention and remain fully at your disposal for further information or clarification.

Sincerely,

Nome:
