The current social political situation and the historical contexts currently experienced with a global pandemic at the front, were the themes of the fifth Panel of the XI International Congress on Human Rights, which themes also dealt with the process of training magistrates for teaching and, thus, multiply knowledge. The event is promoted by the School of Judges of Tocantins (ESMAT) in partnership with the Federal University of Tocantins (UFT).
Mediated by Judge Wellington Magalhães, who is also the 3rd deputy director of the Esmat Board of High Studies and Scientific Research, the event featured a lecture by doctor professors who teach Stricto Sensu Postgraduate classes to magistrates in Brazil and Angola. The Panel reflected on the importance of a humanistic training that guarantees the magistracy the reason for the real needs of society and brings magistrates closer to social realities in their areas of activity.
For Professor Filipe Silvino de Pina Zau, Dean of the Independent University of Angola (UnIA), the current pandemic inserts the world into a crisis that encompasses several challenges, being in economy, in the area of health, in the promotion of Human Rights, in sustainability and an assessment of consumerism. “The world has always had changes, but not always for the better, the reflections of the great intellectuals who once immersed themselves in the interpretative analysis of objective reality and in the construction of social theories in favor of a fairer and human world were making way to market ideologies through the daily shaping of our conscience, in a kind of consumerist dynamism that makes us more and more individualistic, due to an authentic egocentric pandemic exempt from a psychological frame of reference for us to all live in a state of crisis of social anomie.”, he has stated.
For Professor César Aparecido Nunes, history needs to contemplate other structures of production and reproduction of life, so that human society has the chance to find another productive, economic, social and distributive possibility in this world. “This model of society, agonically affected by the pandemic - Covid-19 - marks the end of a model of civilization and a model of industrialization and urbanization. Just as the Titanic had announced its wreck for the 20th century, the Titanic was the great metaphor of the 20th century. Centuries of death, of war. The 21st century has a second chance to organize itself based on another economy, which produces another society, another distribution of goods, because reason and technique are capable of producing and delivering today all reality. The pandemic is not accidental. The pandemic is the dramatic and lethal socialization of a virus that has been cornered by the model of industrialization and urbanization. The virus leaves the animal and goes to the human being, and now produces a lethality that is also necrotic and painful for humanity, ”he has said.
According to Professor Patrícia Medina, who teaches in the Stricto Sensu Post Graduation Course on Human Rights and Jurisdictional Provision, by Esmat in partnership with UFT, the importance of training the magistrate to disseminate knowledge to new magistrates and judicial servers came from an article of the Federal Constitution that instituted a training system; however, before the Federal Constitution, there were already 16 judicial schools in the country, the first in Minas Gerais and the second in Rio Grande do Sul. “We also have other legally constituted systems and that will be the subject of my speech from now on. That other systematic context of training of trainers is linked to the formation of the recruitment process for the selection of training preparation and the improvement of magistrates. If we think about how this works in Brazil, we will see that there are different ways, at least four different ways, in the whole world of recruitment judges in Brazil, that is, of carrying out the process of including the training of magistrates of that professionals group, who will exercise the right to judge”. She has emphasized.
The programming of the XI International Congress on Human Rights has as its theme: Fundamental Rights in Times of Pandemic, and will continue next Monday, July 6th.
