The recent election of a mayor from the Workers Party (PT) to head Sao Paulo, one of the largest cities in the world, could mean a renewal of city leadership for the defense of human rights.
Beginning under the previous Workers Party administration in 2004, the city of Sao Paulo published an annual assessment of human rights in the various parts of the city, which was a major innovation in human rights reporting. The assessments were continued for four years when the city was administered by a mayor from the Brazilian Social Democratic Party (SPDB), but were discontinued in succeeding years under the administration of a mayor from the Social Democratic Party (SPD).
