Punição midiática e esquecimento: uma análise do direito ao esquecimento de réus condenados

Abstract

This final paper presents an analysis of sentenced defendant´s right to oblivion, as an alternative to the problem caused by the way in which media outlets display crimerelated events and hinder or prevent the reintegration of convicts who have already served their sentences back into society. The research´s main goal is to analyze the right to oblivion of those who have left the prison system, linking it to the social reintegration right and to the human dignity and non-perpetuity of sentences principles, at the same time that it demonstrates the confrontation with the right to information. This is a qualitative research that uses the method of data analysis that were obtained indirectly. As a result, there was a survey of instruments already existing in the Brazilian legal system, that can play a role in applying the right to oblivion and presenting requirements for its enforcement. Therefore, it was concluded that the right to oblivion by convicted defendants is a way of implementing Criminal Justice.
