SUMMARY:

The institutionalization of the human rights policy in Rio Grande do Norte results from the organization of social groups that, since the 1970s, have acted in the mediation of conflicts and human rights violations. These groups were responsible for opening channels of dialogue with the state government, leading to the creation of the State Council for Human Rights and Citizenship and the first State Human Rights Program. Later, the state ranked among the highest in the national ranking of reports on human rights violations. The creation of the State Secretariat for Women, Youth, Racial Equality, and Human Rights (SEMJIDH), as part of the 2019 administrative reform, represented progress in the recognition of this agenda within the governmental structure, linking human rights to other sectoral policies. In this context, the present study investigates how the state capacities mobilized by the Government of Rio Grande do Norte influence the implementation process of the human rights policy between 2019 and 2025. The research focuses on SEMJIDH, analyzing two main dimensions: technical-administrative capacity, based on the quality of the bureaucracy and the organizational, financial, and technological resources available; and political-relational capacity, by observing the mechanisms of interaction with civil society, parliamentarians, and oversight institutions. This is a case study, using a mixed-methods approach based on document analysis, secondary data, questionnaires, and interviews with public managers and strategic actors. As a contribution, the study aims to fill a gap in the Brazilian research agenda by analyzing state capacities in relation to human rights policy at the subnational level.
