Abstract
This article aims to reflect about the right to development, starting from the premise that the human right suffers a deficit of effectiveness when faced with racist practices, looking back at a very sensitive component of its constitution: the promotion of peaceful, fair, effective, responsible and inclusive institutions. In the first part, the relevance of the right to development is exposed and the notion of building practices of peace, justice, efficiency, responsibility and inclusion as a goal of sustainable development is explored. In due course, a case study on the criminalization of racism will be conducted, based on its penal normative aspects and its repercussion on racial relations in Brazil. Therefore, perspectives on the subject are considered and the position that the emptying of the right to development, through the naturalization (and not coercion) of racial discrimination, emphasizes an unsustainable (and unconstitutional) state of affairs.
