This is due to the fact that the phenomenon of human mobility from a human rights perspective has not been a priority in the Americas region. On the contrary, this phenomenon is seen from a national security perspective, which causes that children and adolescents who require international protection are unnoticed as a result their human rights are easily attacked making them vulnerable. Due to international laws on refugees, this article proposes to find possible solutions to protect their human rights and rights recognized by refugee law. Firstly, the identification of unaccompanied refugee children and adolescents within the mixed migratory flows in the case of Mexico and Central America. Secondly, it also aims to find possible solutions to give them access to the asylum procedure as a result to protect their rights such as non-refoulement and the best interests of the child. Rights not only recognized by international refugee laws, but also by international human rights law, which are mandatory and part of the international obligations on those countries of study.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="es"><p><![CDATA[Resumen Este artículo tiene la finalidad de estudiar y analizar los diferentes problemas, realidades y desafíos que enfrentan los niños, niñas y adolescentes que requieren protección internacional en México y en Centroamérica. Lo anterior, debido a que el fenómeno de la movilidad humana desde una perspectiva de derechos humanos no ha sido una prioridad en la región de Las Américas. Al contrario, este fenómeno es visto desde una perspectiva de seguridad nacional, la cual provoca que las personas menores de edad que requieren protección internacional pasen desapercibidas y sean agredidos sus derechos humanos haciéndolos vulnerables. Debido a la normas internacionales en materia de refugiados, este artículo propone encontrar posibles soluciones para proteger los derechos humanos de este grupo poblacional. Por una parte, la identificación de niños, niñas y adolescentes refugiados no acompañados dentro de los flujos migratorios mixtos en el caso de México y América Central. Asimismo, se tiene la finalidad de encontrar posibles soluciones para brindarles acceso al procedimiento de asilo y así proteger sus derechos como el de la no devolución y el interés superior del niño. Derechos no sólo reconocidos por el derecho internacional de los refugiados, sino también por el derecho internacional de los derechos humanos, los cuales son obligatorios en los países de estudio.]]></p></abstract>
