Recent initiatives in Brazil have strengthened protection and enhanced integration opportunities for refugees. Adapted from the source document.

AbstractThe Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (GCM) and the Global Compact on Refugees (GCR) are norm‐creating exercises, in the sense of being international legal documents for a new framework that reinforces existing structures and attempt to renew migration governance globally. They were expected to further develop the protection of all migrants. However, despite some progress, there are shortcomings and/or missed opportunities in what they were able to achieve, especially in the case of the protection of forced migrants. Understanding these shortcomings and/or missed opportunities as being conceptual and institutional in nature, and to assess both these sets, this article presents the idea of forced migration and the lack of international protection of forced migrants (part 1), describes the protection of forced migrants achieved by the Compacts (part 2), and ends by assessing the shortcomings and/or missed opportunities in both Compacts (part 3).

Refugee Status Determination (RSD) in Brazil is nowadays a tripartite enterprise, involving UNHCR, the Brazilian government, and civil society. This tripartite character, and especially the participation of the civil society is an impressive feature of RSD in Brazil. It thus seems to be a practice that should be analyzed to see if indeed it can be regarded as a "best practice." In light of this, the paper aims to verify whether or not there are lessons to be learned from RSD in Brazil with a view to improve best practices of RSD in general. ; Le régime de détermination du statut de réfugié (DSR) au Brésil est couramment un arrangement tripartite, engageant le HCR, le gouvernement brésilien et la société civile. Ce caractère tripartite, tout particulièrement la participation de la société civile, semble être le point saillant de la DSR au Brésil. Par conséquent, c'est là une façon de faire les choses qui mérite d'être examiné de plus près afi n de vérifi er si on peut vraiment la considérer comme une « pratique exemplaire ». Au vu de ce qui précède, cet article vise à vérifi er s'il y a des leçons à tirer de la DSR au Brésil, et cela dans le but d'améliorer les pratiques exemplaires de la DSR en général.
