In March 2019, the Ombud of the Institute of International Relations was created - IRI Hears.

The Ombud of IRI is open to expressions from the entire community and assumes responsibilities similar to those of the General Ombud of USP, which are:

  • to collaborate with situations that require greater attention in the areas of the University;
  • to analyze, suggest, and seek the preservation of rights.

In accordance with the guidelines of the General Ombud IRI Hears:

  • DOES NOT conduct formal investigations (inquiries, disciplinary processes);
  • DOES NOT have decision-making and regulatory power;
  • DOES NOT act judicially (does not have coercive mechanisms);
  • DOES NOT address issues in the private sphere;
  • DOES NOT replace representative bodies such as Unions, Associations, or Collegiate bodies.

In addition to receiving, listening to, and processing expressions from the community, the function of the Ombud can be used as a space to reflect on procedures, ethics, and the pursuit of building a healthy and productive environment. Thus, it has the potential to contribute to improving the practices and guidelines of a public institution of teaching, research, and university extension.
