An Essay about Development of Public Policies on Social Rights in Brazil: Between Human Rights, Dignity, and Grounds for Governance

Abstract

The implementation of social rights through public policies may be validly justified in the discussion of human rights. The public policies for the area are important factors in the development process and to the governance of public actions in the sector. Nonetheless, those policies are not often formulated or voluntarily produced by the public power due to lack of planning, budgetary nature, or even the lack of effective and practical’s recognition as grounds for a complete elucidation of the human rights development. Then, human, social and economic rights in Brazil and its political-juridical importance can be investigated by the possibility and effectiveness of the invocation of human dignity as a foundation. This way, it must offer an alternative to the development crisis of this category of rights to the Brazilian state.
