Recuperação da memória das vítimas de violação de direitos humanos e responsabilidade coletiva: a necessidade de um novo olhar sobre o conceito de responsabilidade

Abstract

The paper develops the need to recover the memory of the victims as postulated for the realization of human rights, which can only be done from a new perspective on the concept of responsibility. The memory to be recovered is that which arises from the violation of human rights and that ultimately put the victims in an underground history, given the lack of recognition by society, the atrocities committed against them. Its a constant struggle against forgetting, which should be discussed from the perspective of otherness. For this, it should be understood that current instruments civil, administrative and criminal are not sufficient to return to the injustice in the case of serious human rights violations, as it requires the necessary commitment of the whole society and summarizing the question, often the payment solution that does not match the scale of material damage caused. In this context there is a collective responsibility as a means of commitment and awareness in relation to another person, their dignity and suffering, since it works with the idea that, to avoid repetition of facts to ensure justice for victims, it is necessary to building a society that can enable a better future from the revisitation of her past.
