In a comparative way, this paper studies the Brazilian and Italian systems of protection for asylum seekers and refugees. These study cases are useful to understand two countries that have national legislation regarding such a matter, and both are part of International treaties regarding refugees. The challenges faced by the two countries concern the integration of the refugees and their lack of political voice. The Italian government may learn from the Brazilian model, i.e., its tripartite structure that allows the civil society’s voice to be heard. On the other hand, the subsidiary protection existent in Italy could be a solution for Brazil with regard to the Haitian asylum seekers arriving within its borders.
