The aim of this article is to explore the relationships between forced migration of Central American communities and the global and national exclusion of migrants in their transit through Mexico on their way to the US. It is divided into the following sections: a) description of the main causes of Central America migration; b) responses of the Mexican government from the 1980s to 2018; c) the role of organized crime and the official “war on drugs” (2007-2018) in human rights violations to Central American migrant; and lastly, d) some changes in the Mexican State regarding the management of Central American migration. Although the act of migration is intrinsically human, it has been hard to conceive migration as human rights in the current conversations. “The refugee and migration crisis,” have received unprecedented political and media attention around the world. Transnational migration is one of the core elements of late modernity given the historical acceleration of global processes. There are currently about 244 million people who have migrated from their country of origin, (which is three percent of the world’s population). One third of global migration happens in a south-north direction, while the rest happens in a south-south direction. The focus of this article is to describe and analyze aspects of Central American migration to/through Mexico, human rights violations experienced in transit, and different responses of the Mexican State to the “crisis of migration.”

中美洲社区被迫流离失所:穿越墨西哥的侵犯人权行为

本文的目的是探讨中美洲社区的强迫迁移与移民到美国途中经过墨西哥的全球和国家移民之间的关系。它分为以下几节:a)描述中美洲移民的主要原因;b)1980年代至2018年墨西哥政府的回应;c)有组织犯罪和官方的“禁毒战争”(2007-2018年)在侵犯中美洲移民人权方面的作用;最后,d)墨西哥州在中美洲移民管理方面的一些变化。尽管移民行为本质上是人类的行为,但在当前的对话中很难将移民视为人权。“难民和移民危机,”已在世界范围内受到前所未有的政治和媒体关注。考虑到全球进程的历史加速,跨国迁徙是现代性的核心要素之一。目前,大约有2.44亿人从其原籍国移民(占世界人口的3%)。全球迁移的三分之一发生在南北方向,而其余迁移发生在南南方向。本文的重点是描述和分析中美洲到墨西哥/从墨西哥迁移的各个方面,过境中发生的侵犯人权行为以及墨西哥州对“移民危机”的不同回应。目前,大约有2.44亿人从其原籍国移民(占世界人口的3%)。全球迁移的三分之一发生在南北方向,而其余迁移发生在南南方向。本文的重点是描述和分析中美洲到墨西哥/从墨西哥迁移的各个方面,过境中发生的侵犯人权行为以及墨西哥州对“移民危机”的不同回应。目前,大约有2.44亿人从其原籍国移民(占世界人口的3%)。全球迁移的三分之一发生在南北方向,而其余迁移发生在南南方向。本文的重点是描述和分析中美洲到墨西哥/从墨西哥迁移的各个方面,过境中发生的侵犯人权行为以及墨西哥州对“移民危机”的不同回应。
