HUMAN RIGHTS IN MIGRATION POLICIES IN LATIN AMERICA AND CHILE

From a Latin American perspective, we discuss the importance and necessity of the human rights based approach in all interventions with migrant populations, due to the risks of violation and helplessness faced in many countries, and the fact that these issues have been moving in numerous agendas of cooperation and international features whose duties require them to states that have ratified them. They are tasked to take charge of the protection and the fight against discrimination, and should establish regulations and policies on this basis. In many countries regulations and interventions take time to collect the precepts of international law or simply not advanced in legislation. There are rigidities, favoring the discretion of the authority and regression in the protection of rights. References are made to Latin America and Chile, and the overall context of the human rights situation of migrants. We provide evidence for interventions with migrant populations note that the practices of violation of rights must deal adopting premises and approaches demanding the fulfillment of commitments to the States.
