Human rights and refugees: an analysis about the moment post-refugee status determination

The literature about refugees has explored the link between refugees and human rights in the host countries - a fundamental aspect of the international refugee regime - in a predominantly descriptive perspective. Highlighting the importance of analytical approaches about the theme, this paper analyzes how the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has expressed itself with regard to the refugee human rights in their host countries, signalizing the influence of the international politics in this context. Once understood the regime and its relation to the human rights, it is believed that the latter represents the parameter to analyze the way the international protection is provided.
