A/HRC/59/49/Add.1 end, it regulates the national migration system, the accompaniment of the returned population and introduces amendments to previous legislation (Laws 1465 of 2011, 1565 of 2012, 1257 of 2008 and 985 of 2005 and Decree19 of 2012). Although the law was adopted in the context of the Venezuelan diaspora, it does not have an exclusive focus on that population, but rather interprets, in a broader manner, the changing migratory dynamics. Migration management system 26. Colombia has established an institutional structure to lead the formulation and implementation of migration policies through the coordination efforts of the Special Administrative Unit of Migration Colombia, which is attached to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and with the support of United Nations entities in Colombia. 27. Law 2136 of 4 August 2021 assigns to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs the responsibility for formulating and executing the comprehensive migration policy, including the regulation of the entry and stay of foreigners in Colombia. The Special Administrative Unit of Migration Colombia is the entity in charge of migration control, with the power to temporarily delegate such functions to the security forces in certain areas. The law also establishes a degree of flexibility regarding migration, granting the Special Administrative Unit of Migration Colombia the power to deny the entry of foreigners without appeal. 28. In addition, by Law 2136 of 2021 a series of inter-institutional coordination bodies were established to direct and guide the implementation of the comprehensive migration policy in the areas of transit, origin, destination and return at the national and territorial levels. 29. At the national level, enhanced cooperation has been established between the National Intersectoral Commission for Migration, the Intersectoral Commission for Return, the Advisory Commission for the Determination of Refugee Status, the Committee for Assistance to Nationals Abroad, the Case Evaluation Committee – Special Fund for Migration, the Intersectoral Commission to Combat Smuggling of Migrants and the Interinstitutional Committee for the Fight against Trafficking in Persons. Decree 0032 of 17 January 2025, further enhanced the work of the National Intersectoral Commission for Migration by defining its regulations and membership. In addition, four subcommittees were established to strengthen the response to the different migratory movements in the country. 30. In terms of territorial articulation, since 2018, round tables on migration have been formed as spaces for coordination between national and local entities to respond to the effects of migration. Their formalization occurred alongside the formulation of territorial development plans 2020–2023. As of December 2024, there are 72 active migration round tables, with regular meetings in which the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, through its Directorate of Migration, Consular and Citizen Services, participates. 31. Although the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is the governing body for the implementation of the comprehensive migration policy and has the leading role in its formulation and implementation through the Directorate of Migration, Consular and Citizen Services, the Migrant Population Directorate of the Ministry of Equality and Equity has assumed coordination of humanitarian care and socioeconomic integration of migrants and refugees since its creation in January 2024. The Migrant Population Directorate leads the Subcomisión para la Integración Socioeconómica y Atención Humanitaria a la Población Migrante (subcommittee on socioeconomic integration and humanitarian assistance to the migrant population) of the National Intersectoral Commission on Migration, maintaining close coordination with other Ministries and State institutions. 32. The National Council for Economic and Social Planning of Colombia (known by its Spanish acronym CONPES) has also developed various public policy strategies to address migration, most notably documents CONPES 3603 of 2009, containing the first comprehensive migration policy, CONPES 3950 of 2018 on Venezuelan migration and CONPES 4100 of 2022 on the integration of Venezuelan migrants in the development of Colombia. 6 GE.25-06163
