Over the last 7 years, a multidimensional crisis in Venezuela has resulted in massive emigration. Over 7 million have fled the country, with more than 2.4 million seeking to settle in Colombia. Of these, as of 2021, more than 1 million were undocumented, but the situation has started to change with the implementation of an ambitious migrant regularisation scheme. Regularisation promises access to comprehensive healthcare, full educational opportunities and the formal labour market. Securing these social determinants of health is critical because social inequalities produce health inequalities-that is, systematic health differences that are preventable and thus unjust. Social medicine, social epidemiology and international human rights law agree on this, yet law-focused studies of health equity initiatives remain rare. Aiming to reverse this, we examine Colombia's response to Venezuelan migration, including its recent migrant regularisation initiative, which was introduced in part to comply with the country's obligations under international human rights law. The examination foregrounds what we are calling 'legal literacy', testing the hypothesis that advancing health equity involves asking more and better questions about international human rights law.

解析人权，促进健康公平：反思哥伦比亚对委内瑞拉移民的回应。

在过去的 7 年里，委内瑞拉的多维危机导致大规模移民。超过 700 万人逃离该国，超过 240 万人寻求在哥伦比亚定居。其中，截至 2021 年，超过 100 万人没有登记，但随着雄心勃勃的移民正规化计划的实施，情况开始发生变化。正规化承诺获得全面的医疗保健、充分的教育机会和正规的劳动力市场。确保这些健康的社会决定因素至关重要，因为社会不平等会产生健康不平等——即系统性健康差异是可以预防的，因此是不公正的。社会医学、社会流行病学和国际人权法都同意这一点，但以法律为重点的卫生公平倡议研究仍然很少。为了扭转这一局面，我们研究了哥伦比亚对委内瑞拉移民的回应，包括其最近的移民合法化倡议，该倡议的引入部分是为了遵守该国在国际人权法下的义务。考试突出了我们所说的“法律素养”，检验促进健康公平涉及提出更多更好的国际人权法问题的假设。
