Summary: Migration has been a phenomenon that has affected the world population since ancient times. It has been the result of: wars, diseases, political persecution, poverty, integral development and overcoming. However, the migration phenomenon today shows the serious violations of human rights suffered by people in their country and become migrants. Migrants are vulnerable people and they are easy prey for the smuggling of migrants, and the organized crime take advantage and profit from the migrant's need, putting their lives at risk. This is why every State has the interest in the regularization and legislation of the migration process, so they have been strengthening their borders. In the case of Guatemala, we have seen the massive deportations of migrants, both adults and children and adolescents. The United Nations Organization (UN) is also interested in creating regulations to protect the rights of migrants, such as the Convention in Palermo and its Protocols, Italy, in December 2000, specifically the Protocol against the Smuggling of Migrants by Land, Sea and Air, through which every Member State that ratify, commit themselves to respect the migrants and are seeking to create actions to achieve their correct implementation. In the case of Guatemala, there’s still a lack of knowledge about its content and the way its applied, that’s why migrants that have been deported are revictimized by the Guatemalan authorities.
