In this paper, we question the decision of the Superior Labor Court that through Jurisprudential Guidance (OJ) n. 416 affirmed the absolute jurisdictional immunity of international organizations. This understanding contradicts the Theory of Relative Immunity, which is also applied in the Nations. The underlying question concerns the fact that more diplomatic protection is granted to these institutions than to the Nations themselves. It should be noted that access to jurisdiction is denied to those waging legal battles against international bodies and aiming to have their labor rights actualized, as these are already included in the list of human rights. The supremacy of peremptory principles and norms (jus cogens) should enforce international treaties, by which the Nation undertakes to provide effective remedies against human rights violations.
