United Nations Human Rights
We are concerned about the increasingly politicised and heated debate that has engulfed #Brazil over the past few days and weeks. We urge the Government, as well
as politicians from other parties, to cooperate fully with the judicial
authorities in their investigations into allegations of high-level
corruption, and to avoid any actions that could be construed as a means
of obstructing justice. At the same time, we urge the judicial
authorities to act scrupulously within the confines of international and
domestic law, and to avoid taking partisan political positions. We are
concerned that a vicious circle may be developing that risks
discrediting both the executive and the judiciary, thereby doing serious
long-term damage to the State, and to the democratic achievements made
in the past 20 years during which Brazil has been governed under a
Constitution which provides strong human rights guarantees. http://ow.ly/ZQE9X
