¿Resulta compatible para el ordenamiento jurídico colombiano la implementación de los delitos de odio como un mecanismo esencial para la prevención de la xenofobia?

Abstract

This is an analysis of the Colombian legal system in the field of criminal law, particularly on the protection of the legal rights of vulnerable groups whose special conditions make them worthy of priority protection from the State, in defense of those constitutional principles that guide public policies of the Colombian State. Venezuelan migration, a challenge for all Colombian institutions, demands a timely and effective response in the prevention of behaviors that violate human dignity, such as xenophobia, contrary to the peace, harmony and coexistence that the State must guarantee. to all the inhabitants of its territory. The classification of these behaviors and the materialization of the theory of hate crimes raise the debate around the need for their implementation in Colombian legislation, in order, in this way, to agree with the international context in this matter.
