DESCRIPTION:A talk with Luiz Magno Pinto Bastos Jr.\, an Associate Professo
 r at Universidade do Vale do Itajaí\, Brazil.\n\nAbstract\n\nOn April 28\,
  2010\, the Brazilian Supreme Court (STF) upheld the constitutionality of 
 the Brazilian Amnesty Law enacted at the end of the military regime (and r
 einforced by the Constitutional Amendment convening the Constituent Nation
 al Assembly).\n\nSix months later\, on November 24\, the Inter-American Co
 urt of Human Rights (IACHR) declared that the Brazilian Amnesty Law is inc
 ompatible with the American Convention\, lacks legal effects and cannot be
  used as an obstacle to investigating and prosecuting those responsible fo
 r grave violations of human rights.\n\nThis conflict not only reflects the
  Brazilian STF's lack of compliance with previous IACHR jurisprudence conc
 erning amnesty\, but it reveals an absence of dialogue from both sides.\n
 \nIn this paper\, I analyze some aspects of the reasoning developed in bot
 h decisions as well as the institutional characteristics that have contrib
 uted to this lack of communication.  In the end\, I argue that the strengt
 h (and the future) of the Inter-American system depends on the development
  of strategies of engagement and cooperation between the jurisdiction at b
 oth the international and the domestic levels.\n\nAbout the speaker\n\nLui
 z Magno Pinto Bastos Jr. is an Associate Professor at Universidade do Vale
  do Itajaí\, in Brazil (since 2000)\, teaching Constitutional Law\, Genera
 l Theory of State\, Human Rights Law\, and Constitutional Procedural Law\,
  at Law and International Relations faculties (undergraduate studies). He 
 also is a partner of the Menezes Niebuhr Law Firm\, practicing in Electora
 l\, Constitutional and Administrative Law.\n\nA CHRLP and Oppenheimer Chai
 r event.  All welcome.\n
