VILLARREAL SATAM, Freddy Lenin  y  BERNAL SUAREZ, Juan David. Migration conflicts and human trafficking: General considerations. Cuest. Pol. [online]. 2024, vol.42, n.80, pp.84-107.  Epub 19-Sep-2024. ISSN 0798-1406.  https://doi.org/10.46398/cuestpol.4280.05.

The objective of this research is to provide a general reflection on migration conflicts and human trafficking, from a reflective and general perspective. This effort is justified by the fact that geopolitical, ethnic and economic conflicts give rise to massive migrations worldwide. Civil wars, political and ethnic persecutions, environmental disasters, force millions of people to migrate in search of better opportunities. Africa, the Middle East, Eastern Europe and Latin America face this problem due to wars, while Latin America struggles with poverty and crime. In Africa, protracted conflicts in countries such as South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo trigger migration flows and forced displacement that governments have failed to resolve. Methodologically, it was descriptive and documentary and made use of the collection of scientific articles from specialized journals and international press releases. It is concluded that the relationship between armed conflicts, migration and human trafficking has posed significant challenges for the international community. Governments, non-governmental organizations and humanitarian agencies have worked hard to address these problems, but sustainable solutions require a comprehensive and long-term approach.

Palabras clave : migration; displacement; human trafficking; armed conflicts; general reflections.
