Blood for peace:
A case of study of law and violence
Karla Pinhel Ribeiro1
Abstract: The work seeks to share an experience of legal intervention in urban
conict experienced by the author as a lawyer in June 2010 in Brasilia, Distrito
Federal. In Esplanada dos Ministerios, there was an Indian camp for more than
six months in order to protest and claim rights on the grounds of a presidential
decree in December 2009 that abolished many regional governments and indig-
enous posts in Brazil, leaving indigenous people from all around the country
without schools, no clinics and no job because many were also FUNAI ocials.
The aempts of withdrawal these Indian by government were true war opera-
tions. Yet listed, besides the indigenous mobilization in Congress and persecu-
tion of the Federal Police, Civil Police, Military Police, National Force, and oth-
er federal courts. It’s a bit of history of the Revolutionary Indigenous Camp and
its important episodes we want to tell, so it becomes increasingly known this
mark in Brazilian indigenous history. The case of study on display reasoning
ts with my doctoral research in philosophy entitled “Law and Violence in Han-
nah Arendt and Walter Benjamin,” where I analyze the theoretical positions of
these authors, comparing the similarities and dierences in their conceptions.
So Hannah Arendt tends to distinguish the concepts of law and violence, while
for Walter Benjamin, law and violence tend to identify.
Keywords: law, violence, indigenous people
The paper “Blood for peace: a case of study of law and violence”
has this name because of the title of an article published in a newspa-
per of Brazil, Correio Brasiliense and republished and other media press
and social networks.
The issue I am bringing with this text for discussion is the case of
the rights of indigenous people, not only in Brazil but also place of inter-
national relations, their inclusion and exclusion in an exception relation
like Giorgio Agamben understanding of Homo sacer: men with rights, it
