Abstract
MACEDO, Stephen. Refugeehood Reconsidered: the Central American Migration Crisis. Probl. anu. filos. teor. derecho [online]. 2023, n.17, pp.89-119. Epub June 24, 2024. ISSN 2448-7937. https://doi.org/10.22201/iij.24487937e.2023.17.18209.
The number of refugees in the world amounts to more than one percent of the entire world population. This essay is an attempt to think about this question and assess the literature that addresses it, especially from the standpoint of ethics and political theory, and a grounding in real-world problems. The paper is intended as an introductory discussion for those interested in the debates about who should qualify for refugee status, especially in light of the predicament of Central Americans fleeing from the disorder. It pays special attention to the claim that the US has reparative obligations to Central American countries owing to US interventionist policies.
