Aquarium
While the humanitarian consequences of the Venezuela crisis, both in the country and in the region have made the headlines in recent years, the objective of the panel is broader since it intends to highlight the humanitarian consequences of population mobility in Latin America and the Caribbean, focusing on internal & international displacement caused by the widespread violence and other humanitarian crises in different countries of the region.
The discussion is aimed at analyzing the challenges across the Latin America and Caribbean region and provide recommendations enabling an appropriate humanitarian response in terms of coordination, resources, and humanitarian access.
