Con ello, se espera contribuir a una mejor comprensión de las obligaciones internacionales de los Estados en el respeto, protección y garantía de los derechos de las personas en situación de movilidad, promoviendo un enfoque de derechos humanos en el diseño de las normas y políticas públicas migratorias ante las diversas crisis migratorias que se viven actualmente en el mundo."
