Ante este escenario, la presente disertación tiene como objetivo general investigar en qué medida el derecho a la salud mental de los refugiados ambientales es reconocido y protegido por el Estado brasileño, así como analizar la compatibilidad de este aparato jurídico-institucional con las obligaciones internacionales asumidas en el ámbito del SIDH. De manera específica, se busca examinar el empleo de terminologías y conceptos correlatos a los “refugiados ambientales” en el aparato normativo brasileño; identificar la existencia de normativas y directrices orientadas a la salud mental en contextos de desplazamiento ambiental forzado; examinar la actuación estatal a partir del estudio de caso del rompimiento de la represa de Fundão, en Mariana (MG); y confrontar la práctica brasileña con los parámetros interamericanos, a la luz de la jurisprudencia de la Corte Interamericana y de la teoría de la justicia tridimensional de Nancy Fraser. La investigación adopta un enfoque cualitativo, basado en el análisis bibliográfico y documental. Los resultados evidencian la inexistencia de un marco normativo específico que reconozca al refugiado ambiental como categoría jurídica en Brasil, lo que contribuye a la invisibilidad institucional de estas poblaciones y a la ausencia de protocolos propios de atención psicosocial. En el caso de Mariana, se identificó además una omisión estatal relevante, caracterizada por la delegación de la atención en salud mental a fundaciones privadas financiadas por las empresas responsables del desastre, generando conflictos de interés y procesos de revictimización. A la luz del SIDH, se concluye que la ausencia de medidas estatales específicas dirigidas a la salud mental de los refugiados ambientales viola el deber de garantía previsto en la Convención Americana, exponiendo al Estado brasileño a un riesgo de responsabilización internacional. Por último, se sostiene la necesidad de la creación de un estatuto jurídico propio para el reconocimiento de los refugiados ambientales en el ordenamiento brasileño y la pertinencia de la solicitud de una opinión consultiva a la CIDH, como forma de densificar las obligaciones estatales y fortalecer la tutela jurídica de la salud mental en contextos de desplazamiento ambiental forzado.

The study starts from the premise that the classic and atomized model of judicialization, although it responds to specific emergencies, may be structurally incapable of solving systemic administrative pathologies, generating distortions in the equality and planning of public policies. Under the aegis of neo-proceduralism and the maximum valorization of fundamental rights, the study questions the extent to which the adoption of structural process techniques can offer more effective jurisdictional responses, understood as those capable of promoting the reorganization of flawed bureaucratic structures through prospective and dialogical jurisdiction. The research adopts the hypothetical-deductive method, with a qualitative approach and case study, having as its object of analysis Public Civil Action 5041496-75.2024.8.13.0702. The limits of the traditional process, the dictates of transparency, and the theory of structural process are analyzed. It was concluded that the structural process, by replacing the binary logic of classical adjudication with incremental and monitored decisions, is promising in overcoming institutional blockages, allowing the Judiciary to act as a catalyst to ensure the publicity of waiting lists and, consequently, to guarantee the fundamental rights of users of the public health system.

These are digital influencers, a key component in the machinery of the current consumer market, who assume the position of opinion leaders and protagonists in marketing strategies. They are both actors and vehicles of advertising. In this sense, they lend credibility to the brands they advertise and influence the choices of their followers, whose protection is based on the consumer protection microsystem. However, Law No. 8.078/1990, which governs this protective system, predates the phenomenon of digital influencers, and to date, there is no specific legislation regulating the actions of these personalities. Therefore, the objective of this work is to analyze the legal duties of digital influencers, from the perspective of consumer protection, in the dissemination of advertising content on social media. The research is exploratory in nature and uses the deductive method. Scientific production develops through a qualitative approach, focusing on aspects of this influence, how products and services are advertised, the impact of these communications on users' beliefs and behaviors, and the legal framework of advertising. Thus, throughout the text, it is observed that digital influencers are considered equivalent suppliers and their conduct must be guided by the legitimate expectations aroused in the audience. It is noted that, associated with the principles of advertising identification, information, truthfulness, and non-abusiveness, are the principles of objective good faith and the protection of trust. Therefore, when disseminating advertising, they must act with responsibility, diligence, loyalty, and consistency.

Based on specific input data, algorithms dictate the rules of learning and interaction with the environment and, from that point onward, it may no longer be possible to control output data or the potential risks the system may present. Moreover, artificial intelligence systems are endowed with mechanisms of continuous self-improvement, and it is precisely at this point that the central question of this work arises: would it be possible to apply the notion of development risks to defects displayed by artificial intelligence systems? Could suppliers of artificial intelligence systems be held liable for risks not yet known, arising from the self-learning (machine learning) and deep learning characteristics of these systems? The research hypothesis is grounded on the principle of safety as an essential value for any society and as a cornerstone of the liability framework established by the Brazilian Consumer Defense Code, thereby ensuring a more solid basis of trust and reducing complexities in the field of tort law. In a context marked by excessive enthusiasm surrounding automation and the acceleration of processes, as well as the algorithmic optimization of profitable outcomes, it is imperative to reflect on liability for damages. Accordingly, this study begins with an overview of artificial intelligence and its relevance in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, in order to map certain abusive practices and possible unjust harms that justify the need to protect consumers in an era of artificial intelligence characterized by risks and uncertainties. It then proceeds to analyze the theory of development risk and its relationship with autonomous systems endowed with artificial intelligence. The general objective of the research is to focus on potential violations of fundamental rights caused by artificial intelligence systems equipped with self-learning models, and to analyze the feasibility of applying legal instruments already available in the Brazilian legal system to prevent unjust harm. More specifically, it explores the sustainability of a proactive liability model and risk management approach. The research employs the hypothetical-deductive method and theoretical-bibliographic investigation. In the end, the concluding remarks will present an overall panorama of the investigation, at which point the study aims to clarify the results achieved through the path taken by the research.
