Abstract

During the last years, Colombia has become a country of transit for combined flows of migrants. This global dynamic is the result of the needs of individuals for escaping from their countries of origindue to internal conflicts, general violence, massive violation of human rights, State persecution, natural disasters or the simple hope of improving their social and economic conditions. This has forced migrants to resort to international human trafficking networks when they are not able to migrate legally since they are not in compliance with relevant visa clearance requirements. This article is intended to promote a debate on international public policies, by providing a diagnosis on the current situation of the combined flows of migrants, human trafficking, and the effective protection of their human rights from the point of view of the international refugee law.
