Dia Universal dos Direitos Humanos

It commemorates the day in 1948 the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In 1950, the Human Rights Day was introduced (Resolution 423). When the General Assembly adopted the Declaration, with 48 states in favor and eight abstentions, it was proclaimed as a “common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations”, towards which individuals and societies should “strive by progressive measures, national and international, to secure their universal and effective recognition and observance”. Although the Declaration with its broad range of political, civil, social, cultural and economic rights is not a binding document, it inspired more than 60 human rights instruments which together constitute an international standard of human rights.

BRAZILIAN HISTORY:
1572 Division of Brazil in two administrative regions: North with Salvador as capital, and South with Rio de Janeiro as capital.
Earlier in 1572, governor Mem de Sá had died. His already appointed successor, D. Luís de Vasconcelos, had died in an attack by the French, when he was on the way to Brazil. In order to realize a better administration of the Brazilian colony, the Portuguese Crown decided to split the colony in two parts. However, this separation proved not to be sucessful, and Brazil was united again in 1578.
1825 Brazil declared war against the governments of the provinces of Rio da Prata (Cisplatina War).
1916 Introduction of conscription in Brazil.
1959 Jânio Quadros nominated as presidential candidate for the UDN party.
1981 Introduction of the Usucaption Law
A Brazilian worker who constructs a house and plant the area, which is smaller than 25 hectares, without any opposition against for five years, may consider himself as the owner of the area and the house.
(Market trader). In 1914, a law was introduced, that markets were allowed, under the control of the city council. In 1934, ware other than food was allowed to be sold at the markets. There were strict conditions about the hygiene and the behavior of the market trader. In 1948, it was determined, (for example in São Paulo) that markets could be held from Tuesday to Sunday, from six in the morning until noon, and that everything must be clean at 3 PM, and that traffic may return in that street. It is understandable that locals are not always that happy to have market traders in front of their doors.

1961 President Jânio Quadros (1917-1992) resigned.
Jânio studied law and was teacher of Portuguese literature, when he was elected as the successor of Juscelino Kubitschek. On January 1961, Jãnio was installed as 17th president of the Brazilian Republic. He had to deal with the powerful governor of the state of Guanabara (later this state with Rio de Janeiro), who was a fierce opponent of Vargas and Kubitschek. Vargas committed suicide, the popular Kubitschek was not re-elected. Jânio could no longer withstand the pressure of governor Lacerda, and resigned. One day before, Lacerda stated that he was not about to put aside Jânio, and accused the minister of Justice of participating a conspiracy, which could have resulted in a coup. Following his resignation, Jãnio resumed teaching. At the time of the military dictatorship, he was put in prison for a short time, and he was blocked for political activities. Due to his weak health status, Jânio was not able to become presidential candidate in 1989. He suffered three CVAs, before he, totally paralyzed, died in 1992.

Year 1961 was a year of many presidents: In order of appearance that year: Kubitschek, Quadros, Mazzilli, and Goulart. The power vacuum that Jãnio left behind after his resignation, should have been filled by his vice-president, João Goulart, nicknamed ‘Jango’. However, Jango was not in Brazil at that time; he was on a business trip in China. Ranieri Mazzilli, chairman of the parliament, was appointed as the temporary successor of Jãnio. Meanwhile, the ministers of War, Air Force, and Navy created an informally military junta, who – in vain – tried to block Goulart to be installed as president. There was an agreement: Mazzilli would hand over the presidency to Jango, fourteen days later. Three years later, Mazzilli was president again, for another fourteen days, following the military coup that had put aside Goulart. Marshall Castelo Branco was then his successor. Mazzilli would suffer difficulties to continue his political career, when the military leaders blocked his candidacy to become chairman of the parliament again.

Dia Internacional dos Museus
(International Museum Day). The International Council of Museums (ICOM) established International Museum Day in 1977 to encourage public awareness of the role of museums in the development of society.
“Museums are an important means of cultural exchange, enrichment of cultures and development of mutual understanding, cooperation and peace among peoples”.
Theme for 2013: “Museums (Memory + Creativity) = Social Change”
General themes:
Informal education structures. Museums educate in a recreational way; they are places of initiation without obligation that foster knowledge through continually renewed means.
A social space rooted in its territory. Museums play a role in the identity and dynamism of their territory. Through their action, they contribute to promote the past of their territory and build its future.
An intergenerational link. Museums keep the relationship between a community and its history alive. They are spaces for dialogue between generations.
Displaying heritage in a modern way. Museums have quickly been able to seize the communication and mediation opportunities offered by new media and have broken away from the old-fashion image they once had.
Innovative practices for a better conservation. Conservation devices are improving and the museum is becoming a real laboratory where work techniques continue to evolve.
