THE NOTEBOOK OR THE SCALE? REFLECTIONS ON THE HUMAN RIGHT TO A FAIR TRIAL BASED ON DEATH NOTE
Abstract
Este artigo analisa os modelos de justiça concorrentes que emergem ao longo da narrativa do mangá e anime Death Note, e o quanto um dos modelos pode ser descrito como uma violação de direitos humanos. Os autores discutem como a sede de justiça e o vigilantismo, mesmo quando aparentemente engajados no combate ao mal, se revelam incompatíveis com o direito humano a um julgamento justo. Através da história de Raito Yagami, que utiliza um caderno mágico para eliminar criminosos, são exploradas as implicações éticas e jurídicas de sua busca pela justiça. O artigo argumenta que a lógica do vigilantismo, na qual o protagonista se coloca acima da lei, nega os direitos fundamentais dos indivíduos e compromete a integridade do sistema judicial. Em termos metodológicos, o artigo combina a análise da narrativa da obra e uma revisão bibliográfica e documental sobre o conceito de direito a um julgamento justo. Os autores concluem que, mesmo em um contexto fictício, as questões levantadas em Death Note refletem preocupações reais sobre um sistema judicial justo frente à vigilância e o exercício arbitrário do poder, reforçando que a verdadeira justiça não pode ser alcançada à custa da observância dos direitos humanos.
