The Latin American (LA) region faces multiple complex emergencies, including the internal and regional impact of the crisis in Venezuela, the humanitarian consequences of the armed conflict in Colombia, and the pervasive high levels of generalised violence in the North of Central America and in Mexico. These conditions produce some of the highest forced displacement numbers in the world. According to UNHCR, there are over 15 million displacement-affected people, including some 7,4 million Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) across NRC country programme coverage in Latin America. The LA region also witnesses record numbers of transcontinental population movements generating significant protection risks as people are obliged to cross borders often through routes where conditions are dramatic. Restrictive asylum and migration policies also create flows of deportees and returnees, who struggle to re-integrate in their communities and often face violence, retaliation, discrimination, and exclusion. Those phenomena are accelerating across the region.
Este puesto está alojado por el Consejo Noruego de Refugiados (NRC) y sirve al Comité Directivo del Foro de ONGI. Este papel es clave para los esfuerzos del Foro de ONGI Internacionales (ONGI) para abordar cuestiones humanitarias en Venezuela, con especial atención al acceso, la defensa y la coordinación mejorada. Esta posición operará dentro del marco organizativo del NRC manteniendo la independencia para apoyar los objetivos de la Coalición.
