Abstract

This article analyzes the evolution of regional regimes and their perspectives in relation to the protection of the human rights of refugees. Its starting point is the International Regime for the Protection of Refugees (RIR), which established principles, norms, rules and decision-making procedures in terms of refuge. Then, the regional protection instruments of Africa, Europe and Latin America, which regulate refugee status and State obligations, are analyzed. It is worth highlighting the importance of describing the historical scenario, which led to the emergence of international protection for refugees in each region, making it indispensable for the current understanding of the gaps in normative instruments, which do not align with the complexity of contemporary migration issues. Therefore, an interdisciplinary study was carried out between Law and International Relations, in an attempt to analyze how refugees, a group in extreme vulnerability, are welcomed, in international law, in terms of protection and promotion of rights. The methodology used is based on analytical and qualitative research, with primary and secondary sources, such as academic productions, international documents and reports from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.
