Abstract

This article offers an overview of the human rights violations that have been taking place in Brazil as a result of the implementation of mega development projects. Using the emblematic cases of the 2014 World Cup and the Belo Monte hydroelectric complex as a backdrop, it aims to demonstrate that there is a pattern of violations that is being repeated, whether in the forests, the countryside or in the cities. The article also looks at where the responsibilities lie in this context. It proposes, therefore, to promote a reflection on what kind of development model is truly desirable for Brazilian society and for the country.
