Reflexões e perspectivas comparadas das migrações e do direito internacional dos refugiados

Abstract

This collection seeks to highlight the work produced by direct and indirect collaborators of the academic agreement between the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul (UFMS) and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) within the scope of the Sérgio Vieira de Mello Chair, implemented in September 2020, debating different perspectives on international migration and International Refugee Law. The primary role of higher education institutions in the promotion and dissemination of International Refugee Law, and the possibility of carrying out programs and actions in this field, in partnership with the High Commissioner of the United Nations (UN) are essential for the international protection of these refugees. populations. The texts particularly highlight the performance of the UFMS Law School and its members who took the initiative to build the final agreement. The existence of the Academic League of International Refugee Law (LADIR) within that faculty, as well as the research project “International Refugee Law in the Americas: the 1984 Cartagena Process”, in addition to the policy of exempting immigrants humanitarian visa holders and refugees from paying fees to revalidate undergraduate and graduate degrees were some of the essential initiatives for UFMS to be able to sign the agreement with the UN High Commissioner.
