Justiça Restaurativa como instrumento de reparação das vítimas de crimes e seus familiares sob o enfoque dos Direitos Humanos

Abstract

This article addresses the development of human rights throughout history and how their promotion was essential to guarantee and disseminate the rights of victims, who have historically been invisible in criminal proceedings. The general objective is to analyze how this attention to protecting victims contributed to the creation and improvement of legal institutions that recognize and protect them. Finally, it specifically seeks to demonstrate how the application of Restorative Justice can benefit these victims, promoting not only the reparation of harm, but also the increase in the feeling of justice experienced by them. The methodology applied was deductive, bibliographic, based on legal doctrines, institutional documents, government reports and national databases, such as the Brazilian Yearbook of Public Security. As a result, it was found that in Brazil it is the responsibility of the National Council of Justice to implement the general rules for the application of Restorative Justice, with room for further development.
