Contributions and Recommendations to the UN Framework for the Analysis of Atrocity Crimes: an ethnic, racial, and gender perspective based on the Brazilian reality

The publication “Contributions and Recommendations to the UN Framework for the Analysis of Atrocity Crimes: an ethnic, racial, and gender perspective based on the Brazilian reality” presents a well-founded denunciation regarding the occurrence of atrocity crimes and genocidal processes in Brazil, specifically directed at Black and Indigenous populations, emphasizing the impacts experienced by women and trans people. The document argues that the current international classification of genocide, historically focused on armed conflicts and explicit physical extermination, is limited and fails to encompass the dynamics of Brazilian structural violence. Based on official data and decolonial approaches, the text analyzes how institutional racism, epistemicide, state omission, and systematic exclusion operate as a continuous project of elimination, proposing recommendations to the Brazilian State and the UN to broaden the normative understanding of these crimes.
