On Tuesday April 7, the Watson Institute for International Studies at Brown University will host Global Hauser Fellow, Marlon Weichert, for a discussion of Brazil’s National Truth Commission and its impacts on human rights activism. Weichert, who has almost 20 years of experience as a federal prosecutor in Brazil, is currently at NYU to conduct research on the role that institutional reform, within a transitional justice framework, can play in societies that – even after re-democratization – have failed to curb state violence.
