On the Legal Nature of Migration Law in Brazil, Germany and the European Union

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Transnational Law of Human Mobility

Abstract

In this second chapter, we will conduct an analysis explaining how Migration Law is seen, both under Brazilian Law and EU Law, including some elements of German Migration Law. The main goal of this chapter is to identify—through Comparative Law—the differences regarding treatment given to the subject in these juridical orders. The reason for this comparison relies on the fact that, depending on the juridical order in which Migration Law is inserted, several names and different types of conduct can be attributed to the same social phenomenon, namely migration. This chapter tries to prove that, depending on the classification given to Migration Law, the phenomenon of migration can be seen from a perspective which—not always—fits to the necessities of migrants, but to the necessities of the host States.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The social, political and legal constructions of migration are also analyzed and discussed by Bast (2011). According to the author, the legal migration management concurs with various perspectives, including cultural and economic ones.

  2. 2.

    The same excluding explanation works for the definition of foreigner under German Law as well, see: Renner (1998, p. 73), as well as § 2 (1) of the German Residence Act, and Hailbronner and Herzog-Schmidt (2016, p. 11).

  3. 3.

    Following Tiburcio’s definition, see: Cahali (2011, p. 26).

  4. 4.

    Foreignness in migration law has been discussed and conceptualized by approaching securitization, irregular migration and international crime matters, see: Rubio-Marín (2014, p. 2). See also: Dauvergne (2008) and Pallida (2011). About criminalization of immigrants, see also: Fan (2014).

  5. 5.

    Bill Ong Hing presents a multi-stepped approach towards immigrants and goes beyond this abovementioned negative approach, in which the immigrant is firstly labeled a problem through demonization. Afterwards, the immigrant is dehumanized, until at last his or her actions can be criminalized, see Hing (1998, p. 81). Based on Norbert Elias’s studies, Rosalina Campos uses the sociology of migration to explain the rejection of the outsiders. Campos presents different grades of foreignness, which depend on the power relations between the host society and the group of foreigners, see: Campos (2011). See also: Booth (1997).

  6. 6.

    A free translation of this extract into English has been made by the author: (1) persons who freely choose to leave their place of residence for economic, family or other reasons, and settle in another region, in another place, in their own country; (2) migrants who, for the same reasons stated above, move to another country; (3) internally displaced people, i.e., people who are compelled to leave their place/region of residence and seek refuge in another part of their own country [...]; and (4) refugees, who are forced to find protection abroad because they suffer from persecution or expulsion.

  7. 7.

    Hanlon and Vicino (2014, p. 5) draw attention to the fact that “in many cases the official statistics on migration do not include people who have entered a foreign country without the required legal documentation”. That means that many official statistics might not have registered the so-called illegal or irregular migrants.

  8. 8.

    Throughout this work, the term “migration”, combined with the expression “movement of people” will be the two most used words to refer to human mobility.

  9. 9.

    Still, this definition cannot be considered as a complete one, because it is necessary to distinguish natural disasters from environmental disasters. According to the United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UNISDR), a natural hazard refers to a “natural process or phenomenon that may cause loss of life, injury or other health impacts, property damage, loss of livelihoods and services, social and economic disruption, or environmental damage.”, see UNISDR (2009, p. 20). Therefore, the environmental disaster may occur either as the result of a natural disaster or as a disaster caused by a human being. Both of them result in a negative impact in the environment.

  10. 10.

    The entire text of the Geneva Convention, including its protocol, is available via http://www.unhcr.org/3b66c2aa10.

  11. 11.

    According to Betts (2010, p. 12), the refugee protection through the Geneva Convention should be understood as a succession of the Second World War.

  12. 12.

    The 1951 Convention has given the State Parties the possibility of limiting their obligations under the Convention to those who would become refugees as a result of events occurring in Europe (the so-called geographical limitation). In order to learn more about the development of the definition of refugee under the Geneva Convention, see: Marugg (1990, p. 149) and Morticelli et al. (2016).

  13. 13.

    In this sense, see also: Tiburcio and Albuquerque (2015, p. 230). The present work does not focus on the definition or on the explanation for the well-founded fear of being persecuted. Besides the above-cited authors, there are also many other ones who give further details on this issue, such as: Hailbronner (2014, p. 380) and Marx (2012, p. 12).

  14. 14.

    Including civil wars.

  15. 15.

    Art. 1 (2) of the Organisation of African Unity Convention Governing the Specific Aspects of Refugee Problems in Africa (adopted by the Assembly of Heads of State and Government at its Sixth Ordinary Session, in Addis-Ababa, 10 Sept 1969) is available via http://www.unhcr.org/about-us/background/45dc1a682/oau-convention-governing-specific-aspects-refugee-problems-africa-adopted.html.

  16. 16.

    The massive flow of Haitians to Brazil can be considered as an interesting case involving people fleeing from natural catastrophes. In order to explore more this subject, see: Godoy (2011).

  17. 17.

    The whole text of the Cartagena Declaration is available via http://www.unhcr.de/fileadmin/rechtsinfos/fluechtlingsrecht/1_international/1_1_voelkerrecht/1_1_5/FR_int_vr_Cart-Declaration.pdf.

  18. 18.

    In order to study this crisis in the Central America during that time, see: Marugg (1990, pp. 176–179).

  19. 19.

    In this sense also: Jones (2004, p. 97) and Gillard (2005, p. 45).

  20. 20.

    Even though the Cartagena Declaration lacks binding power, it offered guidelines for practice and some of its recommendations were taken into consideration in some Latin American States. This was, for example, the case of Brazil. Art. 1, III, of Law n. 9.474, from July 22nd 1997 (Brazilian Refugee Law) has defined a refugee as a person who has suffered a massive violation of human rights:

    Art. 1° Será reconhecido como refugiado todo indivíduo que: I - devido a fundados temores de perseguição por motivos de raça, religião, nacionalidade, grupo social ou opiniões políticas encontre-se fora de seu país de nacionalidade e não possa ou não queira acolher-se à proteção de tal país;

    II - não tendo nacionalidade e estando fora do país onde antes teve sua residência habitual, não possa ou não queira regressar a ele, em função das circunstâncias descritas no inciso anterior;

    III - devido a grave e generalizada violação de direitos humanos, é obrigado a deixar seu país de nacionalidade para buscar refúgio em outro país.

    The Brazilian Refugee Law is available in Portuguese via http://www.planalto.gov.br/ccivil_03/Leis/L9474.htm. Further information about the definition criteria of Brazil, see: Jubilut (2006, p. 26).

  21. 21.

    This does not mean, however, that we ignore the fact that the legally binding nature of the Geneva Convention’s non-refoulement clause (Art. 33) serves as a crucial limit on a state’s sovereign decision on the entry of a foreigner.

  22. 22.

    However, Hathaway and Neve (1997, p. 117) believe that “Governments have regularly endorsed the importance of international solidarity and burden sharing, but collectivized efforts to date have been ad hoc and usually insufficient”.

  23. 23.

    In fact, in October 2016, the UNHCR officially committed to further strengthening international cooperation and solidarity and equitable responsibility and burden sharing in relation to refugee protection, see the Conclusion of the Executive Committee No. 112(LXVII) 2016 on international cooperation from a protection and solutions perspective, 6 October 2016, available via http://www.refworld.org/docid/57f7b5f74.html.

  24. 24.

    American English is the English adopted in the present work. British spelling, grammar and vocabulary are used solely in cases in which a source written in British English is directly quoted.

  26. 26.

    On the historical explanation of the differentiations made between refugee and migrants, see: Long (2013).

  27. 27.

    On cosmopolitanism and cosmopolitan right, see: Kleingeld (2012).

  28. 28.

    One of the reasons for that is that the Geneva Convention relating to the Status of Refugees does not present a fixed and common definition of “forced” migrants/refugees and cannot be homogenously applied by all State Parties of the Convention. For more details, see: Morticelli et al. (2018).

  29. 29.

    Even though we do not agree with the terminology “foreigner”, as explained in Sect. 2.1 above, this expression will be used whenever the Brazilian legislation will be cited, as it is a translation from the word in Portuguese estrangeiro, used nowadays in many of the Brazilian laws that are being cited in the present work.

  30. 30.

    It is estimated that between 1550 and 1855, around four million people have been brought from Africa to Brazilian territory, see: Fausto (2002, p. 51). More details regarding the background of migration in Brazil will be given in Chap. 3.

  31. 31.

    In Portuguese: condição jurídica do estrangeiro, see: Tiburcio (2015, p. 9).

  32. 32.

    Bevilaqua agrees with Antoine Pillet’s doctrine, see: Bevilaqua (1934, p. 122).

  33. 33.

    Octavio understands that conflicts of law may arise due to the fact that foreigners are able to exercise rights inside a particular territory.

  34. 34.

    The entire text of the Bustamante Code both in Spanish and Portuguese is available via http://legis.senado.gov.br/legislacao/ListaTextoSigen.action?norma=435904&id=14421668&idBinario=15693455&mime=application/rtf.

  35. 35.

    Artículo 1. Los extranjeros que pertenezean [sic] a cualquiera de los Estados contratantes gozan, en el territorio de los demás, de los mismos derechos civiles que se concedan a los nacionales.

    Cada Estado contratante puede, por razones de orden público, rehusar o subordinar a condiciones especiales el ejercicio de ciertos derechos civiles a los nacionales de los demás y cualquiera de esos Estados puede, en tales casos, rehusar o subordinar a condiciones especiales el mismo ejercicio a los nacionales del primero.

    Artículo 2. Los extranjeros que pertenezcan a cualquira [sic] de los Estados contratantes gozarán asimismo en el territorio de los demás de garantías individuales idénticas a las de los nacionales, salvo las limitaciones que en cada uno establezean [sic] la Constitución y las leyes.

    Las garantías individuales idénticas no se extienden, salvo disposición especial de la legislación interior, al desempeño de funciones públicas, al derecho de sufragio y a otros derechos políticos.

  36. 36.

    Samtleben’s work carefully analyses the Bustamante Code and provides a complete Private International Law approach on its text.

  37. 37.

    Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, Paraguay, the United States and Uruguay did not approve the Bustamante Code. The Commonwealth of the Bahamas deposited an instrument of accession to the Bustamante Code on 23 January 2017, albeit with reservations, and the Code came into force in the Bahamas within 30 days after the adhesion. For more details, see: http://www.oas.org/en/sla/dil/newsletter_%20Inter-American_Treaties_Bustamante_Code_Bahamas_Jan-2017.html.

  38. 38.

    For a full explanation about the Bustamante Code, see Dolinger and Tiburcio (2016, pp. 65–69).

  39. 39.

    In accordance with these four main scopes of Private International Law, see: Batiffol and Lagarde (1993, p. 17), Mayer and Heuzé (2014, p. 675) and Pillet (1903, p. 27). Some French authors prefer to exclude nationality and the legal status of foreigners from Private International Law studies, even though they recognize these four objects as traditional ones. This is the case of Horatia Muir Watt and Dominique Bureau. Both internationalists considered these two topics too instable and decided not to include them in their Private International Law studies, as there is no consensus about their legal nature in many countries. In this regard, see: Bureau and Muir Watt (2010, p. 4). Nevertheless, it must be stated that the classification of the subject as a Private International Law object of study is also controversial even in France. See this discussion and some decisions about it in: Audit and d’Avout (2013, p. 63).

  40. 40.

    André de Carvalho Ramos also refers to the French school of Private International Law as the one which works with the broadest concept, including the study of: conflict of laws; international jurisdiction; recognition and enforcement of foreign legal judgements; nationality; and the legal status of the foreigners. The author mentions that this enlarged object of study of Private International Law is the one used by the Faculty of Law of the University of São Paulo (USP), Brazil. For further information, see: Ramos (2018, p. 24).

  41. 41.

    Panamanian Law has brought the same thought. In 2015, in the Republic of Panama, a Private International Law Code came into force. With 163 articles, the Code regulates the Panamanian nationality as a connecting factor, allowing, therefore, the Panamanian judge to consider the nationality of the person when determining the applicable law in a Private International Law case. The Panamanian Private International Law Code shall also govern the legal status of the foreigners in relation to the rules which regulate the status of the emigrants of the Republic of Panama, i.e., the rights which have been acquired outside the territory of the Republic of Panama. Additionally, the Code of Private International Law, in its article 29, also considers the rights of the foreigners within Panamanian territory. According to the Code, Panamanians and foreigners should be treated equally. See: Código de Derecho Internacional Privado de la República de Panamá. Gaceta Oficial Digital, CXIV/ N° 27885-A, available via https://www.gacetaoficial.gob.pa/pdfTemp/27885_A/GacetaNo_27885a_20151008.pdf.

    All legal provisions of the European Union Migration Law will be scrutinized in the following chapters.

  45. 45.

    The supranationalism of European Union law has been discussed as a consequence of European constitutional pluralism. In order to better understand this topic, see: Maduro (2003) and Avbelj and Komárek (2008, pp. 524–527).

  46. 46.

    For an in-depth study regarding the European Union’s supranationalism, see: Fremuth (2010).

  54. 54.

    Mankowski (2017, pp. 40–49) explains how Private International Law reacts when new categories of migrants are established. He also recognizes the great influence of PIL when determining the rights of migrants inside the territory of a country, through the connecting rules.
