| Sumario: | Increasingly, large numbers of people are immersed in the context of various kinds of violence or serious humanitarian crises that force them to move and leave their place of habitual residence. As a consequence, it is imperative to dispense protection and guarantee the full exercise of their human rights. These situations pose the challenge of implementing legal rules at international and regional levels, taking into account the need to interpret them in a broadly progressive and increasing way to incorporate more people whose rights are seriously violated. The interpretation and application of refugee protection instruments require the need of understanding the particular situation of violence and armed conflict and its effects on the civilian population. Although indiscriminate violence does not always fit into the concept of persecution enclosed in existing refugee legislation, what is important in this progressive development is to emphasize the need of an inclusive and dynamic interpretation between the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees, its Additional Protocol of 1967, the 1969 Convention of the Organization of African Unity and the 1984 Cartagena Declaration. In this sense, the guidance work of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees represents a vital contribution to the full enjoyment of human rights and respect for humanitarian principles. From this perspective, this paper seeks to investigate the principles recently incorporated in the Guidelines on International Protection Nº 12 elaborated by the UNHCR in December 2016. |
