MEMORY OF THE WORLD PROGRAM

THE MOVEMENT FOR JUSTICE AND HUMAN RIGHTS CASE

Abstract

The aim of this text is to present the results of the submission of part of the Justice and Human Rights Movement's collection to the Memory of the World Project. As a justification, it presents the relevance of this social movement for the defense of human rights, which is reflected in its collection. The initiative to submit the proposal, which seeks to answer the question of how to defend the Movement as a potential candidate for the seal of documentary heritage of Latin America and the Caribbean to the Unesco program, relied on a methodology consisting of the analysis of the Movement's framework, the selection of the State Terrorism Series during the Dictatorship - Conesul, archival description, completion of the relevant forms and translation into the official languages of the call for proposals and submission. It concludes with considerations on the process and the advantages that the seal can bring to the governance of the collection.
