This study examined the investigations undertaken into the disappearance of congressman Rubens Paiva between 1971 and 2014 as an iniciative to understand the long and tortuous path that led to a Federal Court recognize that the case configured a crime against humanity - decision which is unprecedented in the Brazilian judiciary. This sentence was given after 40 years of investigations into the crime against the parliamentarian. With different purposes and in different contexts, four state agencies performed investigations about the crime: the inquiry of the Army (1971), the investigation of the Federal Police (1986) then transformed into a Military Police Inquiry and conducted by the Army (1987), the survey made by the National Truth Commission and the Rio Truth Commission (2012-2014) and the investigation of the Federal Public Ministry (2012-2014). In addition, this research incorporated to analyze some specific periods of the Paiva family fight, as the request for investigation made by Eunice Paiva in the Council of the Human Rights (CDDPH) in 1971 and then in 1979. This reflection of the Rubens Paiva case procedures allowed to find representations of the paradoxes with which victims of human rights violations were addressed in different contexts since the military regime, exemplifying the cycles of this struggle.
