Migrações internacionais (Soberania, Direitos Humanos e Cidadania)

Abstract

The subject of international migration is complex, with current migration flows attracting widespread media attention and interest by researchers. Despite this, migrants are foreigners who are still viewed as posing a threat to national security. A wide-ranging reflection is therefore required in order to address questions on migration and the guaranteeing of human rights as well as state sovereignty. This article makes several contributions on modern-day migration flows, placing a particular emphasis on the situation of refugees in light of state sovereignty, Human Rights and concept of citizenship.
