%X In this article the author argues that the scant existence of state agencies equipped to carry out legal actions in Brazil - described by Guillermo O¡¯Donnell as the inoperance of accountability - is attributable to the weakness of the state of law in this country. The implications of a weak state of law for the quality and sustainability of democracy in Brazil are analyzed in two of the most grave cases of judicial impunity: racial discrimination and public security.
