Protection, development, progress: this is the trilogy of promises carried by the international framework for protecting young people. Based on the analysis of the unicef
Unfairy Tales project videos, this article aims to unveil the fierce battle over the meaning of children for the international arena. Specifically, how the compelling claim for an international responsibility to protect children contains a promise of a progressive future to global politics. The focus is on the discursive manoeuvres that articulate the so called 'children on the move' as the epitome of vulnerability, positioning them as requiring protection; and, at the same time, as the image of a future at risk, threatened by violence and the prospects of an uncivilised becoming. We intend to discuss how this ambivalent understanding of childhood might produce limits to contemporary application of child protection practices.

O artigo analisa criticamente os dilemas envolvidos nas recentes intervenções de organizações humanitárias internacionais em contextos urbanos do Sul Global. A inclusão de comunidades urbanas pobres - como as favelas do Rio de Janeiro - no escopo de atuação de atores humanitários resulta da compreensão particular que associa processos de urbanização à redefinição dos alvos da ação humanitária. O artigo argumenta que a transposição da proteção e assistência humanitária para outras situações de violência, como as favelas do Rio, está fundamentada na construção de favelas enquanto espaços marginais de insegurança e epítome de todos os problemas relacionados a processos urbanos em sociedades em desenvolvimento e menos desenvolvidas. Baseado em uma análise do projeto da organização Médicos Sem Fronteiras no Complexo do Alemão, no Rio de Janeiro, entre 2007 e 2009, o artigo conclui com uma discussão crítica acerca das consequências do reconhecimento e produção das favelas (e da favela global) como um problema de segurança e proteção, em que dimensões democráticas complexas das disputas políticas locais são silenciadas.

This article explores how and why regional organizations participate in the discussion about global health within the United Nations system. It focuses on the case of the Union of South American Nations (unasur) and the topic of access to medicines, and argues that the creation of this organization and its activism in global health diplomacy and governance evolved in the context of the reconfiguration of multilateral cooperation in the Americas, where health has been defined as a human right and vital for regional citizenship. This process results from changing regional identities, unasur's mandate and capacities, and the interests of leading member states such as Brazil.
