This article aims to analyze the phenomenon of forced migration from Latin America to the United States and Europe, which has been largely caused by the social situation of violence existing in some critical points of Spanish speaking American Countries. It will address the humanitarian consequences (in terms of human rights) that the phenomenon of forced migration implies, as well as the international political framework that, influenced by problems such as terrorism and drug trafficking, seeks to regulate this phenomenon. This socio-political analysis will be approached from the theoretical perspective of the German sociologist Rodolfo Stavenhagen, who in his "Seven Misleading Theses on Latin America" gives us the theoretical and conceptual tools to address the problem of forced migration in the field of the current societies of the continent. ; El presente artículo tiene como objeto el análisis del fenómeno de la migración forzada en América Latina hacia Estados Unidos y Europa, el cual se ha desarrollado e impulsado en gran medida por la situación social de violencia presente en algunos puntos críticos de la geografía del continente americano de habla hispana.

The concept of human rights is often deployed by states in defense of various policies, as well by those resisting the impact of those same policies. Using case studies from contemporary Mexico and Colombia, Pérez-Bustillo and Hernández Mares explore the evolving relationship between these hegemonic and counter-hegemonic visions of human rights.
