Abstract: This thesis is written for the University of Brasília (UnB) its School of Law (FD); it fits the FD’s Graduate Program in Law (PPGD) line of research: Society, Conflict and Social Movements – Law Found on the Street, Legal Pluralism and Human Rights. Part of the completed courses for the FD’s Masters in Law were taken at the UnB’s Masters in Human Rights Program (PPGDH), which is part of the Center of Advanced Multidisciplinary Studies (CAEM) of the UnB. The author of this research has a personal background related to intercountry adoption (ICA) from Brazil. That background is the basis for his curiosity about the right to identity for intercountry adoptees. This research therefore focuses on the right to identity for intercountry adoptees from Brazil and essentially addresses the following questions: Do the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Intercountry Adoption Convention safeguard the right to identity for intercountry adoptees? What other law provisions exist and how is the right to identity situated in the legal hierarchy of the Brazilian state? Is there a difference between the eligibility of a child to be domestically or internationally adopted? Which legal considerations, if any, are used to justify the balance of interests of an ICA ruling and the right to identity? What are the consequences of the application of the subsidiarity principle for adult intercountry adoptees from Brazil for their right to identity? The findings of this research provide human rights guidance and conflict management reference, in particular for Brazilian judges and other professionals dealing with ICA. This research presents a view of latent infringement of the wide range of fundamental rights in respect of ICA, caused by narrow private international law interpretations of international human rights law and jurisprudence.
