Direitos Humanos na Guiné-Bissau: impactos na proteção dos Direitos Fundamentais (2014–2025)

Abstract

This study analyzes the human rights situation in Guinea-Bissau through a comparative examination of the democratic period (2014–2019) and the period of political instability and exception (2020–2025). The objective is to understand how the political and institutional context affected the effectiveness of fundamental rights in the country. The research adopts a qualitative methodology, based on bibliographic and documentary analysis, including international reports and theoretical frameworks from international human rights law. The findings indicate that, despite the existence of a normative framework aligned with international standards, the protection of human rights in Guinea-Bissau remains fragile due to political instability, institutional weakness, and insufficient public policies. The study concludes that the effectiveness of human rights in the country depends on strengthening the rule of law, democratic consolidation, and the presence of independent institutions committed to human dignity.
