Cooperação internacional para a proteção dos direitos sociais dos haitianos no Brasil (2010 - 2014)

Abstract

The research aimed to discuss cooperation for the protection of social rights of Haitians in Brazil between the years 2010 and 2014. The research drew on the study of the environmental displaced of Haitians to Brazil from the earthquake that destroyed the country in 2010. The actors chosen for the analysis of cooperation for the protection of Haitians were: the Brazilian government, the UN system and civil society organizations, taking as an example “Missão Paz”, an organization linked to the Catholic Church, located in São Paulo that welcomes the world migrants. The research problem investigation was to what extent there was cooperation between actors for the protection of social rights of Haitians. The method chosen for the analysis of the research object was the qualitative, allowing the differentiated evaluation of specific documents and bibliographies on migration and Haiti. For purposes of this research used various national and international normative instruments for the protection of migrants worldwide. Research has shown that the experience of the environmental movement of Haitians forced the redefinition of Brazilian public policy towards foreigners and that cooperation between actors is still incipient in the national scene. The suggestion was reached that it is necessary to draw up a specific convention to protect these people, once the international regime of current protection relegates environmental shifted to a secondary plane.
