This paper seeks to discuss the public university’s social commitment, from the perspective of Human Rights Education (HRE), identifying some obstacles and challenges that hinder the implementation of HRE. Methodologically, a bibliographical review of the scientific literature on human rights and Brazilian higher education was carried out, as well as an analysis of the legislations on HRE, seeking to understand how the public university inserts itself in this theme. It’s seen that public universities still have to face some challenges in order to implement HRE proposals, such as the processes of commodification of the public university and the privatization of higher education; fragility of the integration between teaching, research and extension; the difficulty in establishing a more systematic and fruitful contact between the university and social segments in situation of social vulnerability or violated rights; and, finally, difficulties in the democratization of university access.
