The aim of this report is to analyze the judgment of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights in the Case of Barbosa de Souza et al. v. Brazil, the first case resolved in the Inter-American system for the protection of human rights that deals with the impact of the improper application of procedural parliamentary immunity on the right of effective access to justice. Specifically, three episodes of violation of rights are analyzed in order to determine the responsibility of the State of Brazil: i) the decisions of the Paraíba Legislative Assembly, refusing to lift the parliamentary immunity of the then deputy and main suspect in killing Márcia, Aércio Pereira de Lima, ii) the constant refusal of the Paraíba Civil Police to carry out investigative proceedings in relation to four other suspects of having participated in the crimes of homicide and corpse concealment, and iii) the alleged use of gender stereotypes in the criminal proceedings against Aércio. In conclusion, it is established that the State of Brazil is responsible for the violation of the rights to judicial guarantees and judicial protection, recognized respectively in articles 8.1 and 25 of the American Convention on Human Rights, in relation to articles 1.1 and 2 of the same instrument, and 7.b of the Inter-American Convention to Prevent, Punish and Erradicate Violence against Women, to the detriment of Márcia’s mother and father.
