SUMMARY:

This research addresses the context of Venezuelan refugees
faced with the irregularities of the measures adopted in the
context of the Covid-19 pandemic by the Brazilian State, under
the justification of containing the spread of the virus. The
objective of the research is to analyze the consequences of
these inconsistencies present in the restrictive measures of the
policy to combat the pandemic, to the detriment of Venezuelan
migrants and refugees and their rights. This research examines
the legal bases, as well as the principles that underlie human
rights, international refugee law, aspects of jus cogens norms, in
addition to the motivations for border closure measures adopted
in the name of public health. Furthermore, it seeks to
understand the challenges faced by refugees amid the
irregularities contained in the restrictions, including the
possibility of worsening human rights violations suffered by
them. The investigation uses theoretical exploratory research
and the deductive method, as well as, for sampling purposes, it
uses a case study based on the situation of Venezuelans in
Brazil, specifically in the cities of Boa Vista and Pacaraima,
located in the state of Roraima. The study aims to contribute to
the academic, legal and social debate on the irregularities
contained in the measures adopted to contain the virus, mainly
the closure of borders and the penalties of immediate
deportation and disqualification of the asylum request, in
addition to discussing the reconciliation of rights human rights,
the search for protection and the guarantee of some jus cogens
standards related to people, with legitimate public health
concerns, especially in times of global health crisis. The results
of this research may be relevant for public policy makers and other professionals, in the development of proportional and efficient approaches to face the challenges faced by refugees in global health crises, in order to preserve human rights and the commitments assumed by Brazil in regarding their protection.
