At the gates of Constitutional Court (CC) make a decision about habeas corpus filed by the National Coordinator for Human Rights (CNDDHH) against the Peruvian state to Venezuelan migrants continue to enter our country without a visaspecialist in international law, Oscar Schiappa, in dialogue with RPP Newsindicated that the case was “very complex” but that human rights should prevail in the decision.
“Peru has some international obligations that the appellants mention, CNDDHH together with Andres Bello University from Venezuela. International human rights treaties deal with the protection workers migrants, protecting those who seek asylum, fleeing political persecution your country, etc.,” he explained.
In this sense, he explained that the informal entry of Venezuelan migrants hinders the state proper record of them and therefore cannot guarantee them the protection he owes them.
“Without giving it a police or repressive tone, just in terms of the human rights of these migrants, this extremely anxious because the Peruvian State has an obligation to provide protection to any person who within its territory. But how can you do it if you don’t have knowledge that these people entered Peru?” he said.
In this regard, he pointed out that these migrants “very vulnerable” as they can even be used for illegal purposes such as “trafficking through workplaces that are not registered and do not comply with legal regulations” or “prostitution massive”.
Immigration Status
In this regard, counsel explained that a distinction must be made between migrants who “are refugees” and those who enter the country for economic reasons.
“The vast majority of Venezuelan migrants entering Peru they are not refugeesthey are fleeing not from political persecution, but from economic disaster your country,” he said.
As Schiappa explained, this differentiation is “very important” given that protection given to refugees in international law is very excellent which is simply given to economic migrants.”
In addition, he mentioned that this problem exists not only in Peru, but also in other countries.
“This is a problem that we are facing not only in Peru, but also in Europe, the United States, etc. All these countries are introducing certain restrictive measures,” he said.
executive action
In the event that the TC decides in favor of visa-free entry for Venezuelan migrants, Schiappa considered that the Peruvian state “forced to comply”.
“Of course, it’s not about close the door to our brothers and sisters in Venezuela who are going through a terrible situation, but we must make sure that this orderly processwhat is your entry to peru properly registered and documented so that they can be provided protection basic,” he said.
He also believes that the government should take action urgent against the Venezuelan migration process, since at present “more one million Venezuelan migrants in our country”.
“I think it’s about finding balanced solution. there is none sole organ of government in the Peruvian state responsible for the issue of Venezuelan migrants. This is very surprising (…) There is no centralized authority that would take care of their needs and make sure that they do not abuse victims. We need to resolve the issue of cleverer and on the basis of the rights of all,” he said.
