This study aims to analyze the Brazilian Policy on Refugees (BPR), established after the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees, with emphasis on its normative aspects. For this, the methodology used was the bibliographical and documentary research on the main documents that deal with the refugees. The 1951 Convention and the 1967 Protocol relating to the Status of Refugees make up the current international refugee legislation. Brazil incorporated the 1951 Convention and the 1967 Protocol into its legal system with the promulgation of Decree 50.215 of 1961 and Decree 70.946 of 1972 respectively. In the process of redemocratization in Brazil, and with the conquest of the Constitution of 1988, national and international bodies began to discuss the need for a specific law for refugees. In the 1990s, they deepened the changes in refugee policy in Brazil. In this context, Law No. 9.474/1997 on the Status of Refugees is sanctioned, as is the Comitê Nacional para os Refugiados (CONARE) [National Committee for Refugees]. Despite the economic crises and global humanitarian crises, after the enactment of Law No. 9.474/1997, Brazil sought to cooperate with other countries, mainly Latin American countries, signing treaties and collaborating in the construction of programs, such as the Resettlement Program. On the other hand, there are some challenges that need to be addressed within the PBR. Among them, the strengthening of local integration of refugees stands out, which is placed in Law No. 9.474/1997 as one of the lasting solutions, together with the resettlement and repatriation of refugees.
