The meeting was marked by the recognition that equality is one of the foundations of the Brazilian legal order, a fundamental right provided for in various provisions of the 1988 Federal Constitution, is one of the pillars that supports the Democratic State of Law, and manifests itself in various ways such as the guarantee of access to the judiciary; the need for judicial control; the prohibition of unequal treatment by magistrates of people in an equal situation; and the observance of due process of law.
The event was attended by Judge Caetano Ernesto da Fonseca Costa, Judge Adriana Ramos de Mello, Professor Dimitri Dimoulis and Professor Adilson Moreira from FGV-SP and PhD in Comparative Constitutional Law from Harvard University Law School. Leila Linhares Barsted attended the event on behalf of CEPIA.
