Direito à verdade e a efetivação do estado democrático de direito

Abstract

The time gap between 1964 and 1985 is remembered for being "years of lead" in the history of Brazil, since they were characterized by being authoritarian and repressive, in which the suppression of rights and freedoms was constant. Addition to this, the omission of factual information about facts and circumstances that occurred during the period covered by the military regime which obscure and distort the understanding of the current scenario of the country. In order to achieve the Democratic Rule of Law, the right to truth, one of the pillars of Transitional Justice, is an important tool in the realization of democracy in Brazil, since, by exposing facts omitted, breaks with the culture of silence, generates social reflection, and produce concrete changes in the spheres legal, political and social development; and, thus, contribute to the building of a Democratic State genuinely material.
