The article analyzes the judgment of ADO 62 by the STF, which addressed the alleged omission of the National Congress in regulating art. 245 of the Federal Constitution, which provides assistance to heirs and needy dependents of victims of intentional crimes. The authors explore the debate between the majority, who did not recognize the legislative delay, and the dissenting votes, which highlighted the excessive time lapse as an affront to human dignity and the state duty to protect the underprivileged.
