An overview of Syrian refugees in Brazil and around the world

This book critically analyzes the reality of Syrian refugees in Brazil and in refugee camps from the perspective of international law. The Syrian War has triggered the biggest global humanitarian crisis since the Second World War. In this context, forced displacement, whether by refugees or even internally displaced persons, has contributed to the creation of refugee camps, which denote the infrastructure of misery. In addition, the aim is to analyze forced displacement, present the human rights violations perpetrated against Syrian refugees, and establish a parallel between the reality experienced in refugee camps and that experienced by individuals in a condition of refuge in Brazil, given the legal diplomas. Field research was also carried out with Syrian refugees in Brazil, in the city of Belo Horizonte, in order to understand the reality they experience, establishing an analysis of the ineffectiveness of Human and Fundamental Rights, protected by the 1988 Constitution of the Federative Republic of Brazil and International Treaties.
