MAMORU NISHIYAMA, Adolfo  and  LAZARI, Rafael de. The Inter-American Court of Human Rights and the case Herzog vs. Brazil. Cuest. Const. [online]. 2022, n.47, pp.437-454.  Epub May 12, 2023. ISSN 1405-9193.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iij.24484881e.2022.47.17536.

On March 15th, 2018, a sad piece of the brazilian past was cleared. Finally, Brazil was condemned for its failure to investigate the arbitrary detention, torture and death of journalist Vladimir Herzog in the basements of the dictatorial system (which occurred in 1975). The text that follows seeks to collect specific data from the sentence issued by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights contextualizing it to concomitant historical facts, to, at the end, bring some particular conclusions in favor of the rights to memory and the truth. Technical (mostly) and social (minority) aspects will be seen, using historical and descriptive methods. As research material, doctrinal and jurisprudential analyzes were used.

Keywords : Law of Amnesty; right to memory and truth; American Convention of Human Rights.
