Argos: International Observatory on Human Migration
Our sights seek to investigate the social, economic, political and cultural phenomena surrounding human migration in different areas of the planet, in order to defend the universality of human rights.
We observe the migratory processes taking care of their structural causes, the vulnerable populations, the various actors involved and the possible strategies of alarm, complaint, follow-up and resolution of cases.
The evocation of the myth of ARGOS – the one with multiple eyes – inspires us to observe, with a plurality of perspectives, the migratory phenomena and the possible recommendations that guarantee free human mobility under conditions of equality and non-discrimination.
We focus on action research with the aim of accompanying and defending migrant populations whose human rights may be being violated. Our purpose is to generate inputs for the concretion of defense actions, as well as tools that can be useful to social, academic, civil and multilateral organizations.
