In this article, we rewrote, from a decolonial perspective, the decision in the case COSME ROSA GENOVEVA, EVANDRO DE OLIVEIRA E OUTROS (“Favela Nova Brasília) v. BRAZIL, issued by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights on February 16, 2017. We mobilize, theoretically-epistemologically, ideas such as “anti-blackness” (VARGAS, 2017; 2020); the overlap between race, class, gender and territoriality (LUGONES, 1008; CURIEL, 2019); rape as a “weapon of war” (SEGATO, 2018); sexual terror as genocide (VARGAS, 2021) and criticism of the human rights matrix (PIRES, 2019) to rewrite the original decision and reflect on the limits and possibilities of the IAHR Court's action in cases that undermine anti-black violence as a project state politician.
Keywords: Colonial violence; Anti-blackness; Sexual terror, Human rights.
