The research drew on the study of the environmental displaced of Haitians to Brazil from the earthquake that destroyed the country in 2010. The actors chosen for the analysis of cooperation for the protection of Haitians were: the Brazilian government, the UN system and civil society organizations, taking as an example “Missão Paz”, an organization linked to the Catholic Church, located in São Paulo that welcomes the world migrants. The research problem investigation was to what extent there was cooperation between actors for the protection of social rights of Haitians. The method chosen for the analysis of the research object was the qualitative, allowing the differentiated evaluation of specific documents and bibliographies on migration and Haiti. For purposes of this research used various national and international normative instruments for the protection of migrants worldwide. Research has shown that the experience of the environmental movement of Haitians forced the redefinition of Brazilian public policy towards foreigners and that cooperation between actors is still incipient in the national scene. The suggestion was reached that it is necessary to draw up a specific convention to protect these people, once the international regime of current protection relegates environmental shifted to a secondary plane. / A dissertação teve por objetivo discutir a cooperação internacional para a proteção dos direitos sociais dos haitianos no Brasil, entre os anos de 2010 e 2014. A pesquisa valeu-se do estudo do deslocamento ambiental dos haitianos para o Brasil, a partir do terremoto que destruiu o país em 2010. Os atores escolhidos para a análise da cooperação para a proteção dos haitianos foram: o governo brasileiro, o Sistema Onusiano e a sociedade civil organizada, tomando como exemplo a “Missão Paz”, entidade ligada à Igreja Católica, localizada na cidade de São Paulo que acolhe migrantes do mundo inteiro. A investigação foi norteada pelo problema da pesquisa, que consistiu em saber até que ponto houve cooperação entre atores para a proteção dos direitos sociais dos haitianos. Como método para a análise do objeto de pesquisa foi escolhido o qualitativo, o que permitiu a avaliação diferenciada dos documentos e bibliografias específicas sobre as migrações e o Haiti. Para os fins deste estudo, utilizou-se diversos instrumentos normativos nacionais e internacionais de proteção aos migrantes em todo o mundo. Este trabalho demonstrou que a experiência do deslocamento ambiental dos haitianos forçou a redefinição das políticas públicas brasileiras em relação aos estrangeiros e que a cooperação entre atores ainda é insipiente no cenário nacional. A sugestão alcançada foi que é necessário se elaborar uma convenção específica que proteja essas pessoas, uma vez que o regime internacional de proteção atual relega os deslocados ambientais a um plano secundário.

The Canadian response following the Haitian earthquake of 2010 was not solely focused on providing humanitarian assistance. Canada also used several immigration measures both at the federal level and the provincial level in Quebec in order to facilitate the immigration of eligible Haitians to Canada and their subsequent reunification with their Canadian family members. This thesis explores these immigration measures and evaluates their effectiveness. In addition, the research examines the role that the large Haitian Diaspora in Canada played in bringing about the adoption of a set of immigration measures specifically for Haitians. The research shows that the Canadian measures implemented were both multi-dimensional – as a variety of immigration mechanisms were used, and multi-level – as the Canadian response included both federal and provincial initiatives in Quebec. While a number of measures were introduced federally, none of these measures could be considered “special” as they were all possible under Canada’s immigration legislation, and they were not unique to the post-earthquake context. In contrast, Quebec’s Humanitarian Sponsorship Program for Haitians was very “special” in that it was the first time such a program was implemented for a large group of people. The research also points to the fact that although using immigration mechanisms to respond to a humanitarian crisis has its benefits, these mechanisms are not designed to provide prompt protection and relief to individuals affected by crisis situations. The research also demonstrates that the use of the available complementary protection measures (humanitarian and compassionate considerations, moratorium and protected person status) did not make up the primary thrust of the Canadian immigration response to the earthquake in Haiti. This fact is indicative of the inadequacy of these measures in providing protection to individuals displaced by environmental factors. Finally, it is argued that although the existence of a large Haitian Diaspora was influential in creating a climate open to the adoption of special measures for Haitians, the Haitian Diaspora did not necessarily influence the specifics of the measures adopted to a significant degree.
