ABSTRACT: This article examines the challenges of access to justice in the state of Amazonas, a territory marked by geographical, socioeconomic, and cultural barriers that hinder the enforcement of fundamental rights. With continental dimensions, low population density, high social vulnerability, and significant ethnic diversity, the region faces structural inequalities that restrict state action and reinforce the condition of sub-citizenship for large segments of its population. In this context, Resolution No. 350/2020 of the National Council of Justice (CNJ) is analyzed as an instrument of interinstitutional cooperation aimed at rationalizing resources, overcoming logistical obstacles, and building integrated solutions for jurisdictional access. The research, based on a deductive method, draws on regulatory analysis and empirical experiences of itinerant justice and judicial cooperation in the Amazon Legal region, particularly in the municipalities of Humaitá and Lábrea. The findings highlight that interinstitutional cooperation contributes to mitigating territorial barriers, expanding qualified legal assistance, fostering citizen inclusion, and bringing justice closer to Amazonian populations. Finally, the study proposes strengthening cooperative and itinerant initiatives, as well as incorporating sociocultural and decolonial perspectives, understood here as approaches that recognize the historical marginalization of traditional populations and seek to adapt legal institutions to local cultural realities through dialogue with indigenous, riverine, and traditional communities.
