In response to this statement by the United Nations, the Brazilian government said that it \u201cpromotes a culture of peace\u201d between law enforcement officers and residents. The document from the rapporteurs and the letter of Brazil, issued on May 31 and July 21, respectively, were confidential and only made public recently.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In early May, a Civil Police operation in the Jacarezinho favela left 27 dead, making it the deadliest massacre in the history of the city of Rio de Janeiro, according to the Study Group of New Illegalisms, of the Fluminense Federal University.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The statement released last week is signed by the rapporteur on torture, Nils Melzer, and the rapporteur on summary executions, Morris Tidball-Binz, and it comes in response to an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/conectas.org\/en\/noticias\/massacre-in-the-jacarezinho-favela-is-denounced-to-the-un-iachr-and-the-cndh\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">urgent appeal submitted to the UN by civil society organizations when the incident occurred<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The organizations reported a series of illegalities and errors in the police operation.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the experts, \u201call those responsible for unlawful killings, including those who ordered extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions must be brought to justice and the victims must be granted full reparations, including guarantees of non-repetition\u201d. They also urge the authorities to take the necessary measures to protect witnesses and survivors from possible retaliation.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/conectas.org\/en\/noticias\/conectas-is-calling-for-rio-de-janeiro-authorities-to-take-responsibility-for-violent-action\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conectas calls for Rio de Janeiro authorities to be held accountable for violent police action<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/conectas.org\/en\/noticias\/the-errors-made-by-the-civil-police-in-the-jacarezinho-massacre\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The errors made by the Civil Police in the Jacarezinho massacre<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/conectas.org\/en\/litigiopt\/adpf-favelas-case-citizens-initiative-to-tackle-police-violence-in-rio-de-janeiro\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ADPF Favelas Case: citizens\u2019 initiative to tackle police violence in Rio de Janeiro<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Brazil ignores structural racism&nbsp;<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although the case occurred in the state of Rio de Janeiro, it is the responsibility of Brazilian diplomatic representatives to engage with the UN. As such, in a letter signed by the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Women, Family and Human Rights, the country claimed that it promotes a \u201cculture of peace\u201d between the police and residents and provides officers with training in human rights and preserving life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The data, however, show that there is a culture of violence in the country and that the Jacarezinho massacre is no exception. In 2020, Brazil registered 6,416 deaths from police intervention, the highest number since 2013, according to the Annual Report on Brazilian Public Security. Of all the victims, 78.9% are black people.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Gustavo Huppes, international advocacy advisor at Conectas, \u201cthe Brazilian response does not recognize the structural racism embedded in police actions in Brazil, which is being denounced using concrete data and information by civil society organizations and social movements, including in UN bodies\u201d.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most recent complaints is the <\/span><a
