O caso Olga Benário sob a Fórmula de Radbruch: uma análise jurídica

Abstract

The present case study deals with various themes, all of them linked in a philosophical concept corresponding to a main theoretical reference. The main idea came from the knowledge and acess to the full content of the Habeas Corpus n° 26.155/1936 – Case Olga Benário, in diligences next to the File Section of Coordination of Document Management and Institutional Memory of Federal Supreme Court, wich is attached to this work. The work was, in essence, directed to the letter that corresponds to “Five Minutes of Legal Philosophy”, a circular that Gustav Radbruch addressed to the Heidelberg University academics, published in the edition of september 12, 1945. The effective concept of justice is discussed, the historical background linked to the theoretical reference and if the case was judge correctly back them, or whether it could be done otherwise. The concept of Access to Justice in a context of clear regime of exception in the face of the historical aspects that guided the trial and its due circumstances, is a striking feature of this extremely controversial theme for his time, mainly due to the jurisdictional burden conferred by the STF. For finish, the question will be respond by the premise that unjust law is not law. The goverment of Getúlio Vargas complied the law, treating the judgment of Olga Benario as unilateral, so that it will be argued that justice did not occur in this trial.
