    What would be the performance of the United States of America in the Organization of American States (OAS) in the accused position by human rights violations? The inquiry was starting point of the empirical research, presented in the article, about the accusations against the United States of America to the Inter-American Commission of Human Rights IACHR/OAS. The complaints were analyzed from the perspective of institutions and collective mobilization, thus emphasizing the character, regulatory and strategic at the same time, dynamic and relational, of human rights. Although the IACHR does not exert binding effect on national authorities, tensions in domestic politics has been generated by positive answers to the growing activism of citizens in submission of complaints, since the 1990s, in challenging the behavior of U.S. governmental institutions

    Health care of people in homelessness: a comparative study of mobile units in Portugal, United States and Brazil
    (Abrasco, 2017) Borysow, Igor da Costa; Conill, Eleonor Minho; Furtado, Juarez Pereira [UNIFESP]
    This paper describes and analyzes the legal and normative framework guiding the use of mobile units in Portugal, United States and Brazil, which seek to improve access and continuity of care for people in homelessness. We used a comparative analysis through literature and documentary review relating three categories: context (demographic, socio-economic and epidemiological), services system (access, coverage, organization, management and financing) and, specifically, mobile units (design, care and financing model). The analysis was based on the theory of convergence/divergence between health systems from the perspective of equity in health. Improving access, addressing psychoactive substances abuse, outreach and multidisciplinary work proved to be common to all three countries, with the potential to reduce inequities. Relationships with primary healthcare, use of vehicles and the type of financing are considered differently in the three countries, influencing the greater or lesser extent of equity in the analyzed proposals.
