Los derechos de los refugiados en el Ecuador. Diagnóstico de una problemática atemporal.

Abstract

The following work includes a diagnosis of the reality of refugees in Ecuador, reviewing the legal situation of the country within the framework of the generational change that the new century meant, in all aspects, such as: economic (the adoption of a new currency in 1999), legal (the adoption of a new constitution, first in 1998 and then in 2008) and social (the aggravation of the national crisis and mass migration to and from national territory). Likewise, a mention is made of the most important aspects that emerged with the new wave of regulations aimed to improving the exercise of the rights of immigrant refugees and refugee seekers, which emerges from the precepts contemplated in the international human rights instruments, to which the country is ascribed. In the same sense, the most relevant data is addressed, with mention to highly valuable indicators such as the entry of asylum seekers into the country or those people who have managed to access refugee status. These issues are expressed in the following lines based on a dedicated bibliographic and doctrinal analysis, within an investigation that seeks to present the reality of a permanent problem in this part of the world.
