The activity [...] will mark the installation of a joint working table between the Ministry, the IACHR, representatives of the beneficiaries of the protection measures (members of UNIVAJA) and representatives of the victims Dom Phillips and Bruno Pereira [murdered in June 2022]. In addition, during the ceremony, an action plan will be launched with a view to implementing the measures issued by the IACHR.
