Survival Migration: Brazilian Solutions

Abstract

The following article aims to address the problem of the delimitation and relevance of the distinction between two types of human displacement that are understood and shared by many modern national States: called economic migrants and refugees. However, it is observed that between these two categories there is a group, which will call for survival migrants not refugees, based on the Betts concept. The text will talk about the group's vulnerability and the need of international protection that incorporates them. It will show four cases in which Brazil has adopted different postures for each of them.
