Venezuela: Exodus and Crime

Migrations energize societies, forcing them to mobilize, to take action, to face new problems and to find effective solutions to them. In a globalized world with increasingly blurred borders and a certain illusion of cooperation and unity, the sting and discomfort still generated by the transit of people seems strange. Countless questions are raised about the rights of refugees, the role of receiving nations and their obligations towards the migrant population. The questions are even greater now, especially when the population of a country in crisis such as Venezuela migrates to another country with some levels of economic, social and political imbalance such as Colombia.
