REFUGEES AND MIGRANTS IN THE LIGHT OF THE 1951 GENEVA CONVENTION

Abstract

The present study studies the violation of the Human Rights of Refugees and Migrants in the face of the 1951 Geneva Convention, since the absence of protection of these rights entails violation of the Principle of the Dignity of the Human Person, directly affecting the right of the personality of those who pass through for this sad and painful reality. In this sense, the question that is asked is: do the signatory States have the right to refuse the reception of refugees and migrants? In order to answer the aforementioned question, the deductive method was used, so that a general premise of greater scope was used to reach the singularities of the proposed theme that would narrow the question to the central point to be worked, that is, of human rights today. The signatory countries of the Geneva Convention will not be able to deny receipt because they violate rules of humanitarian law and may suffer international penalties. In addition, research techniques such as indirect documentary research, such as the Geneva Convention of 1951, the Federal Constitution of 1988, the Federal Laws mentioned, the indirect bibliographic research with the use of scientific articles, books, reports, all related in some way to the proposed theme.
