Migration and human right

Abstract

The historic peace accords signed in Mexico at the beginning of 1992 opened a new chapter in our history and revived the hope of the beginning of a new stage to take us to the reformulation of the State in order to rebuild the damaged social fabric; However, after 19 years of this unprecedented event, the predominance of the political as a dominant factor and its dialectical relationship with the economic as a determinant, led to progress in the first, but a huge deficit in the second, with the result of an intermittent social conflict before the deterioration of the quality of life of the majority of the population. On this basis the thesis is held that in 1992 the war ended, but we went to a state of no peace; in the face of insecurity, unemployment, the increase in the cost of living and continuing with an exclusionary democracy, the population has experienced a situation of anxiety that it has tried to solve by emigrating and struggling internally to survive, as the State fails to fulfill its obligation to guarantee civil, political, social, economic and cultural rights, as mandated by the Constitution. That is the general scenario inherited by the first leftist government in El Salvador, and, 18 months into its mandate, we are still waiting to see our yearnings for peace fulfilled, granting the new government the benefit of the doubt, with the desire to that in 2011 the economy and its social focus will become the dominant factor.
