In a statement<\/u><\/a> published this afternoon, May 31, 54 Brazilian human rights organizations described as \u201cextremely serious\u201d and \u201cunwarranted\u201d the Foreign Ministry\u2019s response to the press release<\/u><\/a> issued by the OHCHR (Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights) and the IACHR (Inter-American Commission on Human Rights of the OAS) on May 26.<\/p>\n

In the document<\/u><\/a>, the two bodies expressed concern over the police repression of a protest staged in Bras\u00edlia on May 24. They also mentioned the police violence in rural Brazil, emphasizing the killing of 10 agricultural laborers in the state of Par\u00e1 and the police operation conducted in the downtown region of S\u00e3o Paulo known as Cracol\u00e2ndia (Crackland).<\/p>\n

The Foreign Ministry reacted immediately to the criticisms by issuing a statement in which it \u201crepudiates, in the strongest terms, the uninformed and biased content\u201d of the joint press release and described the position of the two bodies as \u201csuperficial\u201d and \u201cfanciful\u201d, in a tone that is unusual for Brazilian diplomacy.<\/p>\n

In the statement released today, the human rights organizations defend the IACHR and the Office of the High Commissioner. As far as they are concerned, \u201cthe disrespectful and aggressive language used by the Foreign Ministry is far removed from the position one would expect from a country that claims to be committed to the international protection of human rights\u201d.<\/p>\n

The organizations also said that, with its response, \u201cthe government of Michel Temer has demonstrated a shocking disregard for two of the main international and regional human rights bodies\u201d. \u201cThe Federal Constitution of 1988 binds the international relations of the country to the prevalence of human rights and we call on the Foreign Ministry to make an immediate retraction,\u201d they added.<\/p>\n
