This essay examines the application of positive discrimination in admission processes of three Brazilian postgraduate programs in the field of Human Rights. By presenting this case, it intends to verify how such measures may benefit postgraduate education and research, as well as if they can directly contribute to the social development of countries characterized by a higher degree of marginalization and socioeconomic contrast. It brings furthermore some final considerations about the compatibility of positive discrimination with international declarations, as the World Declaration on Higher Education and the Copenhagen Declaration on Social Development.
