Acesso à justiça enquanto direito fundamental: efetivação pela defensoria pública

The Federal Constitution of 1988 is recognized for its enlargement in the face of large amount of provisions that make it up, among which many are fundamental rights. The fundamental rules set up the foundation of a democratic state, however, are the necessary legal mechanisms to be effective, its exercise is not enough merely to state them, but to offer ways for them to stop being just written standard on paper, and come to be viewed and exercised day-to-day. In this sense, access to justice presents itself in our times, as a cornerstone for a just society dictates. In this light, access to justice can be seen as the most fundamental of rights, which translates as instruments able to safeguard the fundamental rights not only against the action/omission violating the state but also the very particular. Furthermore, access to justice within the legal country, is not right for everyone, despite the willingness of the Citizen Charter in its article 5, paragraph LXXIV, ensuring that the State shall provide full and free legal assistance to those in need. More than half of the population lives in poverty and can´t afford to pay legal fees or court costs as well as a bump in their own ignorance of their rights. The judiciary, in their primary function, is in charge of trying to correct the violation of the rights, intending to effect a true distributive justice, serving as a paradigm for the promotion of substantive equality of human beings, however, is difficult and tortuous access Justice for those without financial resources. In this vein, we present the Public Defender, as keeper of the masses in its institutional role, defending a disadvantage, in the words, as a mechanism for effective access to justice, ensuring therefore fundamental rights. Public Defenders arise at the time or much discussion highlights the priority of actual access to justice, custody, therefore, intimate bond with the pursuit of fundamental rights, in which, that advance the broad range of rights, without whom could defend them or guardianship them

O conflito constitucional existente entre o direito de autor, direito cultural e acesso à informação

O conflito existente entre o direito do autor, direitos culturais e acesso à informação assolam inúmeros debates jurídicos no país. Todos esses são direitos com amparo constitucional que encontram na realidade social obstáculos para serem conciliados. O advento da internet permitiu que obras artísticas fossem distribuídas democraticamente ao redor do mundo, rompendo com a maneira tradicional de distribuir cultura e informação, antes proporcionadas, principalmente, pelo meio tradicional da compra. Faz-se necessário repensar esses institutos e como conciliá¬-los para beneficiar a coletividade.

O acesso à justiça e o direito à educação infantil: um estudo sobre a atuação da defensoria pública do Estado de São Paulo

O objetivo deste trabalho consiste em verificar a atuação da Defensoria Pública do Estado de São Paulo na proteção do direito à educação infantil para entender como esta desempenha a defesa do direito ao ensino infantil para os necessitados. O problema de pesquisa consiste em examinar o papel da Defensoria Pública na garantia do direito ao acesso às vagas em creches e pré-escolas para crianças de zero a cinco anos no Município de São Paulo. O presente estudo parte do marco teórico produzido, na década de 1970, a partir do relatório a respeito do Acesso à Justiça, de Mauro Cappelletti e Bryant Garth. Com essa finalidade foram realizados levantamento teórico e entrevistas semiestruturadas. Durante a pesquisa, a base territorial para a Defensoria Pública do Estado de São Paulo configura-se um desafio perante a expansão institucional instituída pela Emenda Constitucional n.º 80/2014 quanto diante da influência da demanda pela política pública de educação infantil municipal no tocante à oferta de vagas em creches e pré-escolas na capital do Estado. Verificou-se, ainda, que a legitimidade ativa da Defensoria Pública para a proposição da ação civil pública (Lei n.º 7.347/1985 alterada pela Lei n.º 11.448/2007) configura-se como ponto de intersecção entre a Defensoria Pública e o Ministério Público. Indicou-se, como horizonte para enfrentar esses desafios, o aperfeiçoamento de mecanismos de diálogo intrainstitucional e interinstitucional com os demais integrantes do sistema de justiça. Conclui-se pela necessidade de rever a condução interna pela Defensoria Pública do Estado de São Paulo das ações judiciais e extrajudiciais em casos de direitos difusos e coletivos a partir do contexto de litígio estratégico, tendo em vista a natureza plurilateral dos conflitos de justiça distributiva.

Universalização do acesso à saúde e regulação dos planos privados de assistência à saúde: a atuação regulatória da ANS como instrumento de harmonia contratual e viabilização do papel suplementar da iniciativa privada na efetivação do direito social à saúde

While essential to human nature, health and life have been protected since ancient times by various areas of knowledge, particularly by the Law, given its dynamics within the regulation of social interactions. In Brazil, health has been granted major importance by the Federal Constitution of 1988, which, disrupting the dictatorial authoritarianism, inaugurating a Social State and focusing on the values of freedom and human dignity, raises health to the condition of a social right, marked predominantly by an obligational bias directed, primarily, to the State, through the enforcement of public policies. Although, given the limitation of the State action to the reserve for contingencies, it turns clear that an universalizing access to public health is impossible, seen that the high cost of medical provisions hinders the State to meet all the health needs of the rightholders. As a result of the inefficiency of the State, the effort of the Constituent Assembly of 1988 in creating a hybrid health system becomes nuclear, which, marked by the possibility of exploration of healthcare by the private initiative, assigns to the private enterprise a key role in supplementing the public health system, especially through the offer of health insurance plans. At this point, however, it becomes clear that health provisions rendered by the private agents are not unlimited, which involves discussions about services and procedures that should be excluded from the contractual coverage, for purposes of sectoral balance, situation which draws the indispensability of deliberations between Fundamental Rights on one hand, related to the protection of health and life, and contractual principles on the other hand, connected to the primacy of private autonomy. At this point, the importance of the regulation undertaken by the ANS, Brazilian National Health Agency, appears primordial, which, by means of its seized broad functions, considerable autonomy and technical discretion, has conditions to implement an effective control towards the harmonization of the regulatory triangle, the stability and development of the supplementary health system and, consequently, towards the universalization of the right to health, within constitutional contours. According to this, the present essay, resorting to a broad legislative, doctrinal and jurisprudential study, concludes that economic regulation over the private healthcare sector, when legitimately undertaken, provides progress and stability to the intervening segment and, besides, turns healthcare universalization feasible, in a way that it can not be replaced efficiently by any other State function.

Acesso à alimentação como direito social no Brasil : implicações para a sociedade e para o sistema nacional de informações

A Emenda Constitucional 64/2010 garantiu Direito Humano à Alimentação como direito básico e social, alterando o Artigo 6º da Constituição Federal. O artigo analisa as significativas implicações desta alteração na gestão das políticas públicas brasileiras Ao assegurar o Direito à Alimentação como direito básico e social, a Carta constituiu um dever, ou uma obrigação positiva do Estado brasileiro. O artigo discute também o significado desta mudança para o sistema brasileiro de informações, argumentando que já existem fontes de dados e sistema de indicadores construídos para o monitoramento consistente das situações de (in)segurança alimentar e nutricional no país, restando agora ao governo federal e aos gestores do Sistema Brasileiro de Informações Estatísticas e Geográficas definir a regularidade e a frequência da aplicação e divulgação destes instrumentos. Nossa atenção se concentrará basicamente nas possibilidades de uso da Pesquisa de Orçamentos Familiares e da Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra Domiciliar como fontes de dados. _______________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT
