Abstract

To celebrate the current issue on the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, our paper aims to briefly introduce how the United Nations (UN) is currently dealing with international mobility. We further discuss how Brazil has advanced the migrant and refugee agenda. Finally, we discuss the Model International Mobility Convention (MIMC) and how can it contribute to Brazil’s aspirations on international mobility.
