Abstract

Access to justice is recognized as the most basic of Human Rights, being guaranteed through the Jurisdictional or extrajudicial channels. One of the judicial conflict resolution policies is conciliation, which aims to resolve the conflict through dialogue between the parties, assisted by a third party. That said, this research aims to answer the following problem: can conciliation be considered an effective judicial policy for dealing with conflicts? To answer the proposed problem, the deductive method will be used, starting from a general analysis about access to justice to finally reach a specific one by analyzing the Justice in Numbers Report; bibliographic research will be used as a research technique. In the end, the answer will be that even though the rates indicated by the National Council of Justice are extremely low, it is argued that the practice is extremely important in terms of access to justice.
