Abstract

This article argues the deep consequences of Plan Colombia and democratic security strategy over displacement, affecting mainly the frontiers with Ecuador,Venezuela and Panama. Its effects are visible not only in higher transfrontiers displacements but also in migratory policies adopted by neighbor countries against it. This analysis allows the article to conclude that Colombian refugees do not have legal and institutional support from Colombian foreign policy that could guarantee human rights protection under its immigrant condition, for each of those three studies countries.
