Poder Judiciário e Agenda 2030: análise do desempenho dos Juizados Especiais Cíveis do Estado de Pernambuco para o alcance dos objetivos do desenvolvimento sustentável

Abstract

The aim of this study was to analyze the performance of the Special Civil Courts in the state of Pernambuco as a contribution to achieving the goals of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set out in Agenda 2030. The research was carried out within the scope of the Pernambuco Court of Justice (TJPE) and was carried out by identifying the procedural matters demanded in the civil courts, from 2012 to 2022, and by analyzing the compatibility of the SDG indicators for the Judiciary with the goals and indicators of the 2030 Agenda. The SDGs were then aligned with the scope of the strategic projects developed by the TJPE and the performance of Pernambuco's civil courts in terms of the Demand Response Index (DRI) and Conciliation Index (CI) was verified. The results showed that SDG 1 (Eradication of poverty) had the highest volume of lawsuits filed, followed by SDG 3 (Health and well-being), SDG 12 (Responsible consumption and production) and SDG 11 (Sustainable cities and communities), and that the SDGs most demanded in the civil court system in Pernambuco are the same in the capital, the Metropolitan Region of Recife and the interior. It was also clear that the procedural matters filed are related to the three dimensions of sustainable development, with emphasis on code 10437, corresponding to the procedural matter "Image Rights", associated with SDG 3, which had the highest volume of lawsuits filed in the period. Among the programs, projects and strategic actions implemented by the TJPE, 08 initiatives were found to be applicable to civil courts, all of which are associated with SDG 16 (Peace, Justice and Effective Institutions). With regard to the performance of the Special Civil Courts in Pernambuco, it was found that SDG 1 achieved an DRI of over 100% only in 2018, 2019 and 2022. SDG 3, which covers the most demanded procedural matter, only achieved a satisfactory index in 2019 and 2020. The worst performance was achieved by SDG 12, which did not achieve an DRI of more than 100% in any of the years studied. As for the CI, the results showed that the procedural matters linked to SDG 12 had the best performance, with percentages above 20%, throughout the study period, despite the low performance in the DRI. On the other hand, SDG 3, despite recording a positive series of results until 2020, reached 0% for the CI in 2021 and 2022. Finally, it is believed that the performance achieved by the civil courts in Pernambuco during the study period reflects the current panorama of implementation of the goals of the 2030 Agenda and that monitoring efficiency, as well as the issues most demanded by this justice system, will allow the development of institutional actions and programs, as well as public policies aimed at reducing judicialization in a targeted manner, and consequently contribute to achieving the goals of the SDGs. As a technical product, an Executive Summary was prepared, addressed to the president of the TJPE, indicating the results found
