CASTELLANO GONZALEZ, Cristina I.  and  MARTINEZ RODRIGUEZ, David Israel. The central american caravan: poverty, violence and fear, under the prism of human rights. Derecho glob. Estud. sobre derecho justicia [online]. 2021, vol.6, n.17, pp.133-165.  Epub Apr 23, 2021. ISSN 2448-5136.  https://doi.org/10.32870/dgedj.v6i17.313.

This article researches the migratory phenomenon of Central American migrant caravans. We will analyze the poverty understood as radical economic circumstance, then we will deal with violence and fear as determinable factors to boost migration. With the support of a reflexive methodology where Human Rights research is taken into account, we will articulate an analysis of the vertices that connect these two dimensions and then examine the possible contradictions that enclose the faces of the phenomenal and legal world. We will conclude with a perspective on the existing debate on the weighting of rights, linked to migration and human rights issues.

Keywords : Migrant caravan; human rights.
