The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) published a recommendation on Friday 11, calling for federal government to change some points in Decree n\u00ba 654, of 28 May 2021 and to receive vulnerable migrants trying to cross Brazilian borders. The Decree stipulates entry restrictions to the country during the Covid-19 pandemic.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the document, the groups of people considered vulnerable include \u201cpregnant women, children and adolescents separated from or accompanied by their parents or family members, elderly people, the disabled, indigenous people, traditional communities that have been affected, seriously ill people, people in urgent need of medical assistance and other vulnerable social groups.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Requests for asylum and from people who are \u201cvulnerable due to the migratory flow caused by humanitarian or serious crisis and generalised human rights violations\u201d are also included.<\/span><\/p>\n

NHRC recommendation number 19 also states that \u201csince March 2020, federal government has issued 29 decrees imposing entry restrictions into the country, with devices that violate international norms and treaties and local laws on migration and asylum\u201d and that \u201crestrictions should not impede the provision of health services and social assistance.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Citing WHO measures (World Health Organisation), the advisers indicate that triage, Covid-19 testing and quarantine are effective ways of containing the spread of the virus without infringing refugees\u00b4 rights.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Camila Asano, Programme Director at Conectas and an NHRC advisor, the most serious aspect is the clear violation of the human rights of refugees from Venezuela.\u00a0 \u201cIn online meetings held by the NHRC mission in progress in Pacaraima (Roraima) and Boa Vista (Roraima), we can already see evidence of the problematic points of the decree to close the borders, with the Federal Police having to find creative solutions in the face of humanitarian issues at the border.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Asano went on to say that Decree n\u00ba 654, signed by ministers in the Chief of Staff\u00b4s Office and in Justice and Public Security and Health, hinders the issuing of documents to refugees and accommodates summary deportations, with no regard for the correct legal processes, that are provided for in the migration act.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>
