Human rights situation in the face of forced migration from the political economy

Abstract

This paper highlights the incompatibility between human rights and forced migration in transit. It refers to the need to create greater ethical considerations taking into account the humanitarian crisis contexts in which these human displacements are located, beyond the restrictive, persecutory, and border-containment political decisions that currently prevail. Central American migration through Mexico is taken as an example to question the model of capitalist development in its neoliberal stage, especially considering that through its mechanisms of accumulation and dispossession it generates these same displacements. The article focuses, from the understanding of the political economy of forced migration, on the conceptual perspective of human rights and the position taken by government organisms and other institutional mechanisms that are involved.
