This article aims at critically analyzing the concept of eligibility for refugee status in Brazilian law, by approaching administrative processes of refugee status pleas, as well as the legal defense given to applicants for refugee status in the legal system. Based on the central aim of this article, we scrutinize how the decision-making mechanisms work, especially considering the collective decision-making spaces and the confidential aspect of these lawsuits under the allegation of protecting the interested parts. This critical analysis is thought of as a reflection on the possible existence of connections between present practices and policies regarding the eligibility for refugee status in Brazil and the dystopia of absurdity presented in the narrative by Kafka about bureaucracy in lawsuits and the legal defense system. |
