THE HUMAN RIGHT TO ENERGY IN THE BRAZILIAN CONTEXT

ABSTRACT This paper[1] will explore the basic legal framework for understanding the right to energy, as it applies to the Brazilian context. It will first outline basic international frameworks that justify the legal consideration of energy as a human right and as an environmental development obligation. After that, this paper will detail how other countries understand this obligation through statute and case law. Then, this paper will posit basic questions that are critical to framing the dialogue about the right to energy.  Within that framework, this paper will discuss the right to energy in the Brazilian context and the legal application of such a right. The conclusion of this paper will investigate domestic, regional, and international support structures that can assist Brazil in its development and implementation of the right to energy.   KEYWORDS: Human rights; energy; Brazil. RESUMEN Este artículo explorara parte del marco legal existente para entender el derecho a la energía, aplicado al contexto brasileño. Primeramente delineara los marcos internacionales básicos que justifican la consideración legal de la energía como un derecho humano y como una obligación de desarrollo ambiental. Seguidamente, este artículo detallara, cómo otros países entienden esta obligación a través de las leyes y jurisprudencia. Por tanto, este trabajo planteara preguntas básicas, que son criticas al encuadrar el dialogo sobre el derecho a la energía en el contexto Brasileño y la aplicación legal de tal derecho. La conclusión de este artículo investigara estructuras de apoyo domésticas, regionales e internacionales que pueden ayudar a Brasil en el desarrollo e implementación del derecho a la energía.   PALABRAS-CLAVE: Derechos humanos; energía; Brasil.   [1] The authors would like to thank Cherokee Lynn for providing editorial assistance in reviewing the many drafts

Community Preparatory School: 2013-2014 Public Relations Plan

Community Prep sends out seasonal newsletters during fall, winter, spring, and summer of each year that promote recent activities in school, discuss recent events, profile important donors, and give updates on alumni’s successes. These newsletters are sent out in the mail, and are also accessible on Community Prep’s website. Each newsletter comes in one color, with black and white photographs, and has a readable and attractive layout. Email updates have similar information, but sometimes have embedded videos, and provide links to a site where donations can be made or tickets can be bought for future events

A3_6 Could it really be cheese?

This paper investigated the material properties of the moon in the film ”Wallace and Gromit A Grand Day Out”. We conclude that it is possible for the moon to be comprised of cheese, demonstrated by a kinetic friction coefficient of 0.16 which is comparable to a lightly lubricated metal-rough surface boundary much like skis against a crumbly cheese

A3_1 Distortion: The Maths Behind The Magic

In this paper, we are investigating and creating mathematical models for two different distortion types. We have succeeded in creating these models, as proven from our plots, and have explored the idea of applying these models to a simple speaker circuit

A3_3 When Roasted Pigs Fly

This paper investigated the excess energy produced when propane is used to lift a hot air balloon by testing if you could roast a pig while the balloon is flying. We found that the balloon would be able to fly as the propane releases 24.0MW, which is more than enough to roast the pig and fly the balloon

A3_2 If a Tree Falls...

In this paper we are investigating the distances a person can be away from a tree to still be ableto hear it fall. We have calculated that the furthest away a listener can be, with no noise fromthe surrounding area, to still be able to hear a tree fall is approximately 1000km and the furthestdistance they can stand and still hear the noise in a city with traffic is 100m

A3_9 All I Want Thaw Christmas Is You

In this paper, we investigate if it would be possible to defrost Mariah Carey from an ice cube of length 2 m in time for the 1st of December if you began defrosting her on the 1st of November. It was found that it would take a total of 12.6 days for Mariah to return to normal body temperature, leaving her plenty of time to prepare for the Christmas season before it arrives

A3_4 Fly High, Gyroid!

In this paper, we investigated whether a small rocket in the game Super Smash Bros. Ultimate would be viable, based on whether it could hold the amount of fuel required to reach its maximum altitude. We found that the volume of liquid hydrogen/liquid oxygen fuel required is less than the volume of the rocket booster, so the rocket would be viable in this sense

A3_5 1.21 Jigawatts!?!

In this paper we are investigating how much power it would take for the DeLorean from Back tothe Future to reach the 88mph speed required to travel in time. We calculated that when theDeLorean is flying it requires less power than when it is driving on a road to reach the targetvelocity, and in both cases it requires far less power than the 1.21GW that the flux capacitor canprovide
