Legitimidad de los Derechos Humanos en Colombia. El caso de la niñez migrante en Guajira, Arauca, Cesar y Norte de Santander

Abstract

The scenario of migratory movements between Colombia and Venezuela has a long history, however, Colombia has little experience in immigration, which creates a legal system in the matter with conflicting elements and on some occasions of unconstitutionality. In this context, the border is constituted as the primary and central stage of migration, where the need for protection and attention to human rights becomes tangible. Migrant children are an extremely vulnerable population and their human rights are specially protected. In this context, this research aims to analyze the departmental and municipal documents that involve this population from both parts of the institutional framework, that is, from government entities and Non-Governmental Organizations that georeference their actions in the departments that are in the region. Colombian-Venezuelan border, namely, Guajira, Cesar, Norte de Santander and Arauca, based on the documentary review of plans and programs of said institutions that promote the protection of the rights of migrant children, and semi-structured interviews with representatives of these entities, this information will be analyzed from the Critical Discourse Analysis, using the MAXQDA qualitative analysis software.
