Minister Cármen Lúcia Antunes Rocha of the Brazilian Supreme Federal Court (STF) gave a speech on the "Protection of Personal Data in the Jurisprudence of the STF".

KAS Brazil and the DBJV have been strategic partners since 1999. The DBJV is committed to the strengthening of the rule of law and to the promotion of cooperation between German and Brazilian lawyers, converging, thus, with the values and ideals of cooperation and dialogue promoted by the Konrad Adenauer Foundation worldwide.

The conference was opened by the Chairman of the DBJV, Hans-Peter Henckel, the honorary German Consul in Belo Horizonte, Victor Sterzig, and Christian Matthäus of KAS Brazil. Academics and experts of renown gave lectures during the two-day congress, regarding, amongst other issues, the origins of data protection in the Brazilian legal system and the protection of data and personal rights on the internet.

Minister Cármen Lúcia Antunes Rocha from the Brazilian Supreme Federal Court (STF), proffered a special presentation on the "Protection of Personal Data in the Jurisprudence of the STF", which was followed by a lively debate.

The DBJV meets annually to analyse the latest developments in the legal realm of both countries, ensuring the continuous exchange of ideas between Brazilian and German lawyers. The next meeting will take place in 2019 in Porto Alegre, Brazil.
