Os impactos da pandemia do Coronavírus no direito migratório

Abstract

In 2019, in China, the Coronavirus disease emerged with a high rate of contagion and mortality. In 2020, a global pandemic was already characterized, which triggered several extraordinary procedures, such as the declaration of the State of Public Calamity. In this bias, some human rights were weighed in order to face the world crisis. In this way, the pandemic caused by Covid-19 affected several areas of law, in particular International Law, since the World Health Organization (WHO) established security measures to prevent contagion and, therefore, collaborations were necessary between States, both to develop vaccines and to try to alleviate the anarchic situation that has been established. In addition, immigration law has been impacted by the global pandemic, among them: several people were temporarily prevented from returning to their country of origin. Thus, due to the closing of borders the individuals in situations of vulnerability, they faced several obstacles to migrate, that is, when they were successful.
