Direito à saúde: novo relatório sobre a COVID-19 | ICJ / CIJ
«New ICJ global report shows that the right to health must be central to State responses to COVID-19. SEPTEMBER 1, 2020. In a new report published today, the ICJ called on all States to ensure that their responses to the public health emergency brought on by the COVID-19 comply with the international human rights law and the right to health. The report emphasized the particularly acute and discriminatory impact of the pandemic on already marginalized people and the need for access to health facilities, goods and services necessary to combat COVID-19 without discrimination. The report «Living Like People Who Die Slowly: The Need for Right to Health Compliant COVID-19 Responses» documents the adverse human rights effects wrought by the COVID-19 pandemic. The title comes from the words of Mama Yuli, an Indonesian transwoman, who has said that the pandemic left many elderly transwomen feeling like “they live like people who die slowly”.

Medidas ilegais no contexto da pandemia de COVID-19
«ICJ Covid-19 Emergency Appeal | JUNE 3, 2020 - The ICJ is on the front lines to provide efficient and unique legal tools to fight illegal Covid-19 emergency measures. An emergency funding appeal is launched to support this fight.
While the world is focusing on the global health effects of the pandemic, rule of law and human rights violations are taking place, daily, unaccounted for:
• Failure to access healthcare of all people in India, Libya and South Africa;
• Enacting effective bans on abortion in some states in the USA;
• Failure to adequately tackle skyrocketing domestic violence around the globe during lockdown;
• Rights of refugees, stateless persons and destitute migrants being trampled on worldwide;
• LGBT minorities refused access to shelters;
• The abuse of emergency measures to restrict freedom of speech and erode the rule of law in Hungary;
• Attacks on the independence of the judiciary in Poland;
• Curtailing of due process and fair trial rights
• and more.
The ICJ is on the front lines to document, advocate and provide efficient legal toolsfor civil society and the legal community to stop these abuses.

(1) ICJ Annual Report 2018 | September 18, 2019. - The ICJ has issued its Annual Report 2018, which offers a concise summary of the work carried out by the ICJ over the past year. (...). The rise of democratically elected, self-styled populist leaders who embrace and espouse authoritarian, nationalistic and xenophobic policies has led to almost unprecedented levels of licence to engage in attacks and incitement against some of the most marginalized in society, including immigrants, asylum seekers and minorities. These leaders have also attacked human rights defenders, civil society organizations, the civilian judiciary, the media, and have arrested opposition leaders and at times have cynically used counter-terrorism laws against and military courts to try peaceful protesters.

Inteligência artificial como ferramenta profissional
«Guidelines and Regulations to Provide Insights on Public Policies to Ensure AI’s Beneficial Use as a Professional Tool. The Artificial Intelligence Working Group of the IBA Alternative and New Law Business Structures (ANLBS) Committee presents a comprehensive, up to date guide to the use of artificial intelligence as a professional tool, covering the main multilateral organisations and several jurisdictions worldwide:
Download full PDF (all countries): Guidelines and Regulations to Provide Insights on Public Policies to Ensure Artificial Intelligence’s Beneficial Use as a Professional Tool - IBA, september 2020, 113 p.
The guide focuses on the existing guidelines, recommendations and statutory regulations adopted on the use of AI as a professional tool throughout the world. AI is in the focus of all economy sectors: from manufacturing to service; technology to transportation; healthcare to farming; and financial to legal service. It will be an inestimable value and indispensable in the business of the legal profession far beyond from what we are describing today as ‘Legal Tech’. Legislation is likely to need to be changed and general rules on professional ethics and liability will be available. All of this will be the job of judges and lawyers and cannot be taken away by any software in the world. The digitisation of the legal sector itself will provide new opportunities, as a new niche will open up for law firms that can stand by their clients on a different level away from ‘cool’ software processes. This project is the first edition (2020) on the existing guidelines and statutory regulations on the use of AI as a professional tool. This publication of the ANLBS Committee is intended to be updated every two years, and cover the main multilateral organisational and all the listed jurisdictions. (...). IBA».

Human Rights Council, 42nd session, 11 September 2019. - Mr President, The International Bar Association’s Human Rights Institute (IBAHRI) notes the report of the high-level panel discussion on the question of the death penalty. We welcome positive steps taken by some states, including the executive moratorium on the death penalty in California, as well as measures in Colorado, Pennsylvania and Oregon. The decision of US Attorney General Barr to reinstate the death penalty 6 is therefore an unacceptable retrogressive step, as is Sri Lanka’s intention to reinstate the death penalty and seek execution of four people.
The IBAHRI opposes the death penalty without exception. We therefore condemn the imposition of the mandatory death penalty against two men in Myanmar for their role in the murder of prominent human rights lawyer, U Ko Ni. In addition, while we fully advocate the enjoyment of rights by persons with albinism, we condemn the court decision in Malawi, sentencing three people to death for killing and dismembering of a person with albinism.
As noted by the high-level panel, the death penalty is incompatible with the right to life, human dignity and the possibility of offenders’ rehabilitation. We call on states to immediately abolish the mandatory death penalty, observe a moratorium on the death penalty with a view to abolishing it and refrain from taking retrogressive steps».
