In doing so it addresses the evolution of the definition of "refugee" in Brazil, expanding the eligibility grounds provided by the 1951 Geneva Convention on the Status of Refugees (1951 Convention). Reviewing international and regional refugee law, the article analyzes the broader understanding of the notion of "refuge" and its complexity expressed in regional and national legal frameworks, taking account of lawyers, scholars and activists who criticize the narrow scope of the classical refugee definition from 1951 which has become distant from current refugee voices and struggles. At the domestic level, although the 1980 Aliens Statute (Act. n. 6815/80) is still in effect, there have been important changes in refugee law in Brazil since the implementation of the 1997 Refugee Statute (Act n. 9.474/97), influenced by the 1984 Cartagena Declaration (a regional soft law instrument) regarding the definition of "refugee". Exploring the interconnection of the Refugee Statute and complementary forms of human rights protection which fall outside the scope of international refugee law, the article concludes that in the

Only five negotiating sessions were held in 1991 and 1992. There were major problems and areas of disagreement literally up until the last night in Nairobi in the final negotiating session; Dr. Tolba, the Executive Director of United Nations Environment Programme, took a direct hands-on approach to finally concluding the treaty negotiating in late May, which resulted in the document that was sent on to Rio at the beginning of June, 1992, a very tight time frame. The Law of the Sea treaty, by comparison, took over two decades, with formal negotiating sessions lasting nine years. Edith Brown Weiss, Interna.

Nesse sentido, o termo DIA foi usado para enfatizar que o campo é baseado principalmente no Direito Internacional, com visões adicionais de direito, política e ecologia ambientais.
