Venezuela denounced in an informal meeting of the Security Council that there are no “illegal” human beings and that human mobility should not be approached from the perspective of the criminalization and securitization of the migrant.
The information was disseminated through the Twitter account of the Venezuelan Mission to the UN, which indicated that the country is participating in an informal meeting of the Security Council on international migration. At the meeting, they analyze the policies implemented in some countries to discriminate and isolate migrants.
“Venezuela participates in an informal meeting of the Security Council on international migration, ratifying that there are no “illegal” human beings and that human mobility should not be approached from the perspective of securitization or criminalization of migrants,” it published.
Venezuela stated that human mobility should not be approached from the perspective of the criminalization of the migrant, nor of securitization, a policy that seeks to turn this issue into a security problem.
Supremacist conception of migration
In this regard, the alternate ambassador of Venezuela to the United Nations (UN), Joaquin Perez Ayestaranhighlighted the consequences of the cruel and inhumane policies of some countries that discriminate and isolate migrants based on a supremacist conception of migration.
“The “new” increase in migratory flows is the result of deficient, cruel and inhumane policies of pseudo-developed countries; marked by isolationism, racism, systemic discrimination and a supremacist conception of migration,” the Ambassador posted on Twitter.
Reiterated complaints from Venezuela
As will be recalled, at the beginning of June of this year, Venezuela denounced before the United Nations (UN) the rape to the conditions of existence and production of Venezuelans who leave the national territory, generating an induced migration based on the attack on the country’s economy through sanctions.
The complaint was made by the president of the National Institute Against Racial Discrimination (IncodirPrev), Jesús Escobar, who stressed that Venezuelan migration has been “artificially created.”
In this sense, he stated that transnational migration is due to the constant violation of “the conditions of existence, production and reproduction of life.”
In this regard, he explained that this is due to “the ideology of racism and its political economy as colonial expressions of possibility for human existence.”
“On Transnational Migration: the conditions of existence, production and reproduction of life are constantly violated as part of the ideology of racism and its political economy as colonial expressions of possibility for human existence,” said the President of IncodirPrev.
