Some (many) of the images uploaded by Jaakobou are quite shocking. I am sorry, but I fail to see how many of these images are in any sense *educational*
As far as I can tell, the illustrations were not created specifically for Commons. Rather, an illustrator named Carlos Latuff made them available as public domain artwork. As such, they could usefully serve as examples of particular types of political cartoonism, where we normally would resort to fair use. See:

for examples of Latuff's work. I've proposed an NPOV disclaimer (before Anthere removed the cartoons).
