Abstract

The protection of the human rights of refugees and migrants representes one of the main challenges of contemporany International Law. The increase in migratory flows and humanitarian crises in diferente regionsof the world demands legal and political responses based on solidarity, international cooperation, and respect for human dignity. This study aims to analyze the protection of the human rights of refugees and migrants within the contexto of International Law, emphasizing the role of the Brazilian State and the challenges faced in ensuring the effectiveness of these guarantees. The research adopts a qualitative approach with a descriptive and analytical character, based on bibliographical and documentar review, ising books, scientific articles, reports from international organizations, national legislation, and international treaties. The study demonstrated that, although significant normative advances have been achieved, the effectiveness of protection still depends on strengthening international cooperation, consolidating inclusive public policies, and improving institutional mechanisms. It was also found that promoting an ethical and humanitarian culture of reception is essential for refuge and migration to be treated as human rights issues rather than merely matters of state control. It is concluded that the full protection of refugees and migrants requires political commitment from States, multilateral cooperation, and the consolidation of social practices that ensure dignity, inclusion, and respect for diversity.
