Pensando convergências entre a meta 9 do CNJ e o ODS 16 da agenda 2030: um estudo sobre a tecnologia a serviço da consensualidade no acesso à Justiça

Abstract

The present research questioned to what extent the virtual hearings held by the 1st Judicial Center for Dispute Resolution of São Luís/MA (CEJUSC) can be recognized as an institutional policy and strategy for the fulfillment of Target 9, established by the National Council of Justice (CNJ), in accordance with Target 16.3 contained in the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 16 of Agenda 2030, established by the United Nations (UN), as an effective action in the service of consensus and access to justice. That said, as a general objective, this research analyzed these hearings as a plausible means for conflict resolution, providing access to justice. And, in this sense, as for the specific objectives, the research presented the technological innovations developed by the Judiciary related to dejudicialization; identified the technological resources adopted by the Court of Justice of Maranhão used in hearings by videoconference; and interpreted the actions developed by the Maranhão Judiciary aimed at the Sustainable Development Goals of Agenda 2030, as a guarantee of access to justice. Regarding methodology, the inductive approach was chosen to observe the conciliation hearings and their impact as actions aimed at SDG 16 of the 2030 Agenda, based on the legal-descriptive and legal-critical method. Moreover, the monographic procedure method was used due to the concern with the social aspect that permeates the theme and its connection with reality. The documentary research technique was used in a qualitative way, based on published literature, information made available by TJMA's IT Directorate and empirical data extracted from the Electronic Judicial Process (PJe). Among the results, it is possible to verify the importance of knowing the scope of Agenda 2030, as well as the SDGs, especially 16, Target 16.3 and Target 9 of CNJ; the benefits of heterocomposition and the culture of social pacification; the scope of access to justice, breaking the barriers of judicial provision; the need for digital inclusion; the practices of de-judicialization implemented by TJMA; and the actions contained in the strategic planning of TJMA in line with Agenda 2030. Moreover, access to justice is a topic still to be reflected upon due to its importance as a fundamental right. It is possible to glimpse access to justice through consensual technologies available to the court, using conciliation as a viable pre-procedural and procedural means to enable legal celerity.
