Uma análise crítica acerca do dever de proteção às crianças refugiadas venezuelanas pela República Federativa do Brasil

Abstract

The current scenario of Venezuelan migration is recurrent in several national and international newspapers. Brazil has become one of the countries that receives a constant flow of migrants from this region in search of the best quality of life. Given this reality, many children also cross the border, in some cases, unaccompanied and in situations of extreme vulnerability. Thus, it is relevant to understand the role of the Federative Republic of Brazil in the protection of Venezuelan refugee children. Therefore, the main objective of this paper is to understand the state role of protection of venezuelan migrant children. The method used is a qualitative research through consultation of doctrines, electronic devices, legislation etc. The first point to be addressed is the evolution of the concept of refuge, citing the 1951 Refugee Convention and the 1967 Protocol. Then seek to understand, briefly, a crisis that triggers migratory flow and addresses some data (lack of documents, access to school, among others). Subsequently, it is about specifying some legislative commitments adopted by our country with the understanding of the rights of refugee children, as a consequence, or what the Brazilian State should promote for these developing individuals. Then cite the Federal Constitution and the ordinary laws dealing with the treatment or legal order of refugees living in our territory. Also cited international treaties, given the refugee situation of children, they are very important in guaranteeing rights, for example, Pact of San José and the Convention on the Rights of the Child. In addition, some possible actions for the promotion of rights of practice are presented as solutions proposed by The UN Refugee Agency itself.
