O visto humanitário como resposta ao pedido de refúgio dos haitianos

Abstract

The scenario of international migration has undergone profound changes over the past decade. In Brazil if the arrival of immigrants from neighbouring countries has widened, a new component of this flow included a significant number of returnees Brazilians and immigrants of other regions who had little or no history of population exchanges with Brazil, specifically is notoriously large presence of Haitians. This article aims to explore the diplomatic process for humanitarian visa attribution to Haitian citizens, its phases and procedures, as well as the legitimacy of its attribution by the Brazilian Government. It therefore aims to evaluate the state of art of the humanitarian visa attribution. Starting from these objectives, we will briefly discuss on the migratory policy of Brazil and, secondly, on the process for the attribution of humanitarian visa to Haitian citizens. Finally, an attempt was made to evaluate this policy of granting humanitarian visas.
