Abstract

Bolivarcı Venezuela Cumhuriyeti (Venezuela) özellikle son on yıl içerisinde giderek derinleşen ekonomik, siyasi ve sosyal krizlere sahne olmuştur. Bunun bir sonucu olarak ülkeden ayrılmaların son dönemlerde katlanarak artması tüm dikkatleri üzerine çekmiştir.
Amaç: Buna göre çalışmanın amacını; ülkeden ayrılmaların uluslararası mülteci kriterlerini sağlayıp sağlamadığını ortaya koymak, yaşanan göçün kantitatif ve kalitatif boyutunu temel bileşenleri ile birlikte irdelemek oluşturmaktadır.
Yöntem: Yapılan çalışma, nitel ve nicel veri analizlerine dayanmaktadır. Bu kapsamda Bölgesel Mülteci ve Göçmen Müdahale Planı (RMRP) dikkate alınarak göçmen krizine yol açan temel sorun alanları belirlenmiştir. UNHCR ve IOM başta olmak üzere küresel gıda, sağlık, güvenlik ve insan hakları kurum ve kuruluşlarının konu ile ilgili veri ve raporları incelenmiş, ilgili literatür taranmış ve yaşanan göçmen krizi; artan gıda güvensizliği, çökmekte olan sağlık sistemi, artan suç oranları ve yaygınlaşan vatandaş güvencesizliği, siyasi ve medeni hakların ihlali bileşenleri çerçevesinde ele alınmıştır.
Bulgular: Sonuç olarak ülkeden ayrılmalar özellikle ikinci dalganın ortalarından itibaren (2016-2017) yaşanan göç dalgaları; 1951 Mülteci Sözleşmesi, 1967 Protokolü ve 1984 Cartagena Deklarasyonu mülteci kriterlerine uygun bir özellik taşımakta ve süreç özellikle Batı Yarım Küre için yeni ve çaplı bir mülteci krizine dönüşmektedir.
Özgünlük: Bu çalışma ile Venezuela’da yaşanan ülkeden ayrılmaların bölgesel bir mülteci krizine dönüştüğü ortaya konulmuştur. Bu durum öncelikle bölge ülkeleri için ekonomik ve sosyal açıdan önemli bir tehdit unsuru haline dönüşmüştür. Buna göre UNHCR ve IOM’un görüşü çerçevesinde tartışmasız mülteci statüsünün tüm küresel otoritelerce kabul edilmesi ve gerekli önlemlerin alınması gerekmektedir
