BRAZIL 2020 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT
BRAZIL 2020 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY BRAZIL is a constitutional, multiparty republic governed by a democratically elected government. In 2018 voters chose the president, the vice president, and the bicameral national legislature in elections that international observers reported were free and fair. The three national police forces--the Federal Police, Federal Highway Police, and Federal Railway Police--have domestic security responsibilities and REPORT to the Ministry of Justice and Public Security (Ministry of Justice). There are two distinct units within the state police forces: the civil police, which performs an investigative role, and the military police, charged with maintaining law and order in the states and the Federal District. Despite the name, military police forces do not REPORT to the Ministry of Defense. The armed forces also have some domestic security responsibilities and REPORT to the Ministry of Defense. Civilian authorities at times did not maintain effective control over security forces.
