摘要：The general objective of the article is to reflect the Brazilian unequal social structure, which, while encompassing a plurality of ways of life, in the sphere of legal norms, imposes itself from a legitimate view of the world on different lifestyles, the imposition of legal norms in these spaces, within a rationalist and technicist perspective, supported by the principles of generality and impersonality, often disrespect the local knowledge of the community and are applied through true symbolic violence and plunder, even if the discourse is a guarantee of rights. It is intended to report, based on specific cases, the role of the authors in community conflict mediation projects in the state of Rio de Janeiro and in the state of Bahia. The methodology of the work is based on the grounded theory and the method used was the bibliographic research carried out from the records available in printed and digital sources about the Project Balcão de Direitos do ISER, of the Community Justice Program, both from the state of Rio de Janeiro , and the Justice and Citizenship Desk, in the state of Bahia. In the discussions, the authors analyze that community conflict mediation projects are examples of an attempt to create a bridge between the State and the periphery to foster / build a participatory space, and that initially aim to democratize access to justice for populations in peripheral regions, but the practice can result in a violation of rights.
