La pobreza como vector de inseguridad global e interna: una aproximación regulatoria

Abstract

This study intends to carry out a reflection, from an essentially international political-legal approach, on poverty as a vector capable of generating threats to security, both from a global and internal perspective of the States. Without disdaining an approach of this nature (especially if it is an approach from the perspective of human security), we understand that the securitization of the fight against poverty is not very useful to address the problems it generates and to promote development. We advocate directing the political-legal centrality of the fight against poverty from its understanding as a matter of global public interest, to which the programmatic approach of the SDGs and international human rights law offer a solid regulatory base (without prejudice of the real difficulties of carrying out this program and executing international legal norms on human rights). Likewise, we have not wanted to leave aside the collateral, but relevant in itself, importance of inequality.
