La doble afectación: migrantes venezolanos y víctimas de desplazamiento forzado en razón del conflicto armado en Colombia

Abstract

This document addresses the issue of double affectation, a phenomenon in which two human rights violations against the same population coincide: Venezuelan migration and forced displacement due to the armed conflict in Colombia. In this order of ideas, the aim is to determine whether the Colombian State guarantees access to care, assistance and comprehensive reparation measures to the victims of double affectation, in accordance with domestic regulations and international legal instruments. For this purpose, the analysis is structured in three moments: first, a context of the situation of the Venezuelan population that enters Colombia and suffers forced displacement is developed, through documentation and analysis of public and private reports on the subject. Second, an analysis is made of the concept of victim according to the national regulatory framework, including the Political Constitution of Colombia, Law 1448 of 2011 with its regulatory decrees, the Comprehensive Migration Policy and jurisprudence, as well as the international legal framework, with the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement and other instruments that protect the migrant population and reinforce the guarantee of rights of victims of double affectation. Finally, the right to information of the population under the profile of double affectation is analyzed, as a response of the Colombian State in application of Law 1448 of 2011.
