Abstract

Abstract: This research aims to investigate the role of the Federal Supreme Court in realizing the human rights of minorities. As a hypothesis, we consider that the Brazilian Supreme Court acts in a way that leads the judicialization of politics, however, it does not necessarily adopt an activist stance, but rather a complementary one, given the omission of the Legislative and Executive Powers in guaranteeing fundamental rights, minority rights and Human Rights. In the first section, the choice of the Brazilian judicial system for a constitutional democracy will be addressed. In the second section, the case of the Federal Supreme Court and models of judicial behavior will be briefly analyzed. In the following, we will deal with the Supremacy of the Constitution while we address the judicial role in the face of the inertia of the other powers.  The choice of this theme is justified by the commitment that the democratic rule of law has in promoting social and individual rights, with the aim of developing citizenship, based on values ​​such as democracy, equality, solidarity, freedom, respect for diversity. To this end, we used the bibliographical research technique, the chosen method is hypothetical-deductive. Furthermore, this study is exploratory in nature, with a qualitative approach. The procedures adopted include bibliographic review and document analysis.

Keywords: Federal Supreme Court; Constitutional Law; Judicial Protagonism; Human Rights; Supremacy of the Constitution.
