Abstract

The article examines the role of independent technical advisors as a means of enabling direct participation of victims in disaster cases, in the extrajudicial and judicial arenas. In view of the
current procedural system of extraordinary ope legis legal standing, the question is how to ensure the direct, informed and effective participation of affected people in decision-making within the scope of collective actions. Through the study of the case of the rupture of the Fundão dam, in Mariana (MG), or “Caso Rio Doce” and through documentary analysis, the objective was to study how the right of those affected by the disaster to technical guidance was recognized, what was role envisioned and
what were (and have been) the obstacles encountered. The study describes the role of the class representatives, the design of the model of direct participation in the case and its implementation. It concludes that technical advisors have a specific role, in which technical independence and neutrality are not to be confused. In the analysis of the case, it was seen that the implementation of the advisory model faced great resistance, being, however, possible to verify the importance of this interdisciplinary support for the mobilization and preparation of the affected people to act effectively and informed in the different decision-making arenas.
