ABSTRACT
The present work aims to study the Fundamental Rights granted to refu-
gees in Brazil, analyzing Law 9.474/1997 (Brazilian Refugee Law) and
its mechanisms towards to the harmony between the human dignity and
national security principles, as well as the issue of environmental refugees
in the Brazilian law system. The purpose of this article is to demonstrate
the lack of harmony between both principles in the Refugee Law, as well
as the difculties and challenges caused by this unbalance on the regula-
tion of rights inherent to refugees by Law 9.474/1997 in the current context
of crises, wars and natural disasters. In order to reach the settled purpose
theoretical research is used based on bibliographical, jurisprudential and
doctrinal surveys considering the modern outlines attached to the funda-
mental rights granted to refugees. Therefore, to assure greater efciency
and effectiveness of the law considering the principles and rules which
rules the domestic legal system, as well as changes that have taken place in
the domestic and international scenario, a clear need for a revision regard-
ing the regulation of rights inherent to refugees in Brazil is presented.

RESUMO
O presente trabalho tem por objeto o estudo dos Direitos Fundamentais
assegurados aos refugiados no Brasil, analisando a Lei nº 9.474/1997
(Lei de Refúgio brasileira) e seus mecanismos quanto à harmonia entre
os princípios da dignidade humana e segurança nacional, bem como a
questão dos refugiados ambientais na legislação. O objetivo deste artigo
é demonstrar a ausência de harmonia entre ambos os princípios na Lei de
Refúgio e as diculdades e desaos causados por este desequilíbrio quanto
à regulação dos direitos inerentes aos refugiados pela Lei nº 9.474/1997 no
contexto atual de crises, guerras e desastres naturais. Para tanto, utiliza-
se de pesquisa teórica, tomando-se por base levantamentos bibliográcos,
jurisprudenciais e doutrinários em relação aos modernos contornos
atribuídos aos direitos fundamentais assegurados aos refugiados. Assim,
para a garantia de maior eciência e efetividade da legislação em comento
frente aos princípios e regras que regem o ordenamento jurídico interno e
considerando as mudanças ocorridas no cenário interno e internacional,
resta evidente a necessidade de revisão quanto à regulação dos direitos
inerentes aos refugiados no Brasil.

INTRODUCTION
The Law n. 9.474/1997 (Brazilian Refugee Law) is an important
mark in the protection of the refugee rights and is internationally recognized
as a model to follow. The recent events involving the reception of refugees,
especially from the Middle East region, by the European states, demand
a deeper reection about the matter and its implications in the current
context of the international terrorism, economic and nancial crisis and
natural disasters around the globe.
In face of the current context of changes, and considering that
the almost 20 (twenty) years the Brazilian Refugee Law is in force, it is
noticed the need of a review of the national laws regarding the fundamental
rights ensured to the refugees in Brazil. Such rights must be compared to
the modern contours attributed to the principle of human dignity and its
harmonization with the principle of the national security.
The purpose of this paper is, therefore, the analysis of the Law nº
9.474/1997 under a new perspective: the view of the binomial formed by
the principle of the human dignity and the national security. The changes
in the internal and external scenery during the validity of this law, and the
modern contours given to the fundamental rights, updating them as guiding
principles of the actions for refugees’ protection, require a hermeneutic
attitude in consonance with the necessary harmony between the human
dignity and the national, security.
Under a strictly epistemological perspective, it must be
highlighted that this hermeneutic attitude does not use the method as the
science distinctive criterion, on the contrary, it tries to establish a pertinence
relation between the method and the nal result. In other words, the adopted
method position goals are to conduct the plausible results and clarifying
the investigated object, or, as Eric Voegelin (1982, p.20) would say:
The science starts from the man pre-scientical existence, from its participation in
the world with its body, its soul, its intellect and its spirit, and from the primary
apprehension of all the domains of the existence, ensured by the human nature
itself, which is the synthesis of all these domains. And from this primary cognitive
participation, full of passion, the hard way is born, the methods, directed to the
dispassionate contemplation of the existence order, which is the essence of the
theoretical attitude.
