Movilidad humana: reflexiones y desafíos en el mundo contemporáneo from edX

Este curso formula reflexiones sobre la movilidad humana, para lo cual se hace un análisis sobre los conceptos asociados a las diferentes realidades que se presentan en contextos de inmigración económica, necesidad de protección internacional (asilo y refugio), apatridia y desplazamiento forzado interno.

Dicho abordaje se plantea desde el estudio de los conceptos básicos aplicables a cada situación, el análisis del contexto en el que se producen estos movimientos de personas, las cifras, tendencias mundiales y el marco normativo de protección desarrollado en el Derecho Internacional de los Derechos Humanos (DIDH) y del Derecho Internacional de los Refugiados (DIR).

La importancia de esta temática radica en que esta visibiliza una de las problemáticas actuales más sensibles de los derechos humanos en el mundo contemporáneo, y plantea constantes retos para los Estados en materia de garantía de derechos a favor de dichas personas.
