The pandemic established in the world obliges humanity to rethink concepts that have been consolidated until then. Morals and ethics come into combat, economy in a state of alert, health in calamity, while the world watches an abstract phenomenon turn into an invisible wave, but with concrete effects beyond its own physical boundaries: globalization, which facilitates, through access to information, and makes it difficult, with the spread of a dangerous disease at the same time. There are several questions, but this article specifically asks: there is a need for a paradigm shift accelerated by the health crisis that affects all of humanity, in particular, about the measure adopted by some countries to close borders in the light of Eligio Resta's thoughts? The hypothesis found is that, for a better adaptation of changes, Fraternal Law and international cooperation are fundamental in the restructuring of global actions to combat pandemics. The questioning is justified by the urgency of the current moment, given the extremely high contagion of the virus, which does not choose standards. For the research, the deductive method developed through documentary research and data from international organizations, news and literature review was used, especially from the theoretical framework already mentioned by Eligio Resta. The first chapter discusses how the restrictions on movement in the South American countries, especially those bordering Brazil, took place. In a second step, we explored the Law of Friendship and the way this metatoria influences the relativization of sovereignty. On a continuous basis, we analyze the application of fraternity on the borders in a pandemic situation. In this sense, better than closing the borders to contain the virus, it would have been the opening of dialogue between all countries, prioritizing the universality of fundamental rights, as recommended by the fraternal code.
