A través de la misiva oficial, Guardiacostas solicita que los habitantes informen prácticas sospechosas o peligrosas en el mar, a través del número de teléfono 913. Además también se informó que es posible comunicarse con la Guardacostera de día y noche a través de ese número. El llamado se extendió a “los buques en el mar' desde donde también pueden comunicarse con el Centro de Rescate y Coordinación de la Guardacostas, las 24 horas del día, a través del canal 16 de VHF cuando observan situaciones sospechosas o peligrosas en el mar
Concluyó resaltando la importancia de los físicos médicos detrás el funcionamiento de cualquier hospital describiendo que en el mundo son pocos, aún más los que se especializan en física médica. “Sin embargo cada vez más y con mayor frecuencia vemos como la ciencia aplicada aporta ayuda intangible a las diferentes profesiones y es por ello que nos genera un mayor compromiso. Estamos muy atentos esperando que llegue un momento adecuado donde el estado venezolano con un gobierno serio quiera invertir realmente en la gente'.
uarda Costa de Curazao interceptó a once venezolanos en el mar, el lunes de esta semana. Seis hombres y cinco mujeres intentaron desembarcar ilegalmente en Santa Bárbara.
Smolansky aseguró que su oficina se opone a estas políticas porque “agudizan' los riesgos enfrentados por los migrantes. “Cerrar la frontera es abrir las trochas  ( pasos ilegales ) ', dijo. “Además, ¿cómo se le pide a un venezolano visa cuando el Estado le niega el derecho a la identidad?', señaló para referirse a las dificultades que enfrentan los venezolanos para conseguir pasaportes en su país.
Por otra parte, explicó que en el caso de Curazao se contabilizan aproximadamente 26.000 ciudadanos oriundos de Venezuela que están residenciados en la isla, lo que también representa el 15% de los habitantes del sitio.

During October, the sub region experienced continued arrivals of via irregular routes. Detention and deportation of Venezuelans, including children, were reported in Trinidad and Tobago and both Aruba  ( 30 September )  and Curaçao  ( 16 October )  organized flights to return Venezuelans to Venezuela.
In some of these small countries, this situation has further strained already stretched services, raising concerns and integration challenges. In 2019, the island of Aruba hosted the world's largest number of Venezuelans displaced abroad relative to its population  ( 1 in 6 )
In Curaçao, Venezuelans also cited inadequate housing, social isolation and family separation as sources of concern
According to the reports,1Venezuelans in Aruba and Curaçao are exposed to risks of exploitation, abuse and rights violations. They are nevertheless reluctant to lodge complaints with the authorities because they fear detention and deportation due to their irregular status.
Curaçao has been heavily economically impacted by COVID 19, due to its economic reliance on tourism and the collapse of the oil refinery industry. Preventative pandemic measures continue affecting Venezuelans who rely on tourism for income and are vastly undocumented and thus excluded from government social support mechanisms
Venezuelans have become increasingly vulnerable, and basic needs such as food, NFIs, medicines and shelter are in higher demand, escalating protection risks. Long lasting economic impacts on Venezuelan refugees and migrants are anticipated. Considering Curaçao's small size and limited absorption capacity, increased focus is placed on integration, prioritizing peaceful co existence and self reliance through social cohesion campaigns and livelihood opportunities for Venezuelans.
While most arrived in Curaçao through a formal visa or initial permit, many overstayed a visa or permit, and are consequently irregular in the country. Some arrive by boat through irregular migratory pathways, exposing themselves to dangerous sea journeys and serious protection risks. Many struggle to regularize their stay and risk abuse, sexual and other forms of exploitation and detention.
Curaçao is one of the countries most impacted by displacement globally proportional to the local population, with 1 out of 10 people on the island estimated to be Venezuelan. Estimates are that 17,000 Venezuelan refugees and migrants will be present in Curaçao at the end of 2020, increasing to 22,000 by December 2021.
There was also a breakout from a refugee and migrant holding facility on 17 November. The escapees fled via a hole in a concrete wall. Four were re captured while the others remained at large. Undocumented Venezuelans remained in the barracks with the government planning their return, by air, on 1 December.
On 8 December, Curaçao went into partial lockdown. Existing curfews and other internal restrictions remained in place through 11 Jan 2021 to respond toincreased COVID 19 cases; severely constraining prospects for economic recovery and further disproportionately affecting refugees' and migrants' abilities to meet their basic needs.
The holiday season was celebrated with limited company as a maximum of three visitors per day could be received at homes. The food service industry remained closed. Individuals were advised to work from home if possible, and the Red Cross re started distribution of food vouchers for host community members and Venezuelans, coordinated by R4V partners.
In Aruba and Curaçao instead, there was a decrease in the number of communications received through hotlines and emails. Calls related to asylum application, certificate renewal and resettlement decreased in during the months of April and June2, as it was the first Covid 19 wave period. However, noteworthy was that there was an increased number of calls to another partner's helpline with requests for emergency support such as food and cash assistance. Throughout the period, refugees and migrants have shown a clear preference for the helpline against the mailbox.
Many Venezuelans in Curaçao arrive via air travel and overstay their visas because they fear returning to their country. However, earlier this year, Curaçao restricted all flights from Venezuela onto the island for a period of time. With no way to get to Curaçao other than by irregular means, the risk of trafficking and exploitation increases.
Ignorance of legislation and legal procedures often prevent Venezuelans from seeking protection. Lack of documentation and legal status hinder Venezuelans' access to basic services such as healthcare and prevent them from accessing formal employment and livelihood opportunities
The status of migrants in Curaçao is regulated by the main immigration law of 1966―the National Ordinance on Admission and Removal  ( Landsverordening Toelating en Uitzending  [ LTU ]  ) . Under this law, tourists from Venezuela holding a valid passport may enter Curaçao without a visa or written permit and stay for up to 90 days. Any foreigner who wishes to stay more than 90 days must acquire a residence permit issued by national authorities.
While not all Venezuelans who left their country might qualify as refugees, undisputedly all have faced a severe increase in human rights violations. Such is the gravity of the situation in Venezuela that in March 2018, UNHCR stated in its ‘Guidance Note' that international protection is needed for a very significant proportion of Venezuelans.
Because of a lack of a fair and effective asylum policy in Curaçao, people fleeing from violence and crisis in their country are not able to apply for international protection. Instead, they can be detained and deported.
Venezuelans and other foreigners in Curaçao without regular status do not have access to public health insurance and must pay the full price for health care and medication. Interviewees told Refugees International that this constitutes a considerable cost.
Several interviewees said it was common for employers to exploit the irregular status of Venezuelans in Curaçao by paying less than the promised wages, or not at all. Given their fear of their irregular status being discovered, approaching the authorities was not an option.
In the Sentro di Detenshon i Korekshon Korsou  ( SDKK ) , foreigners with an irregular immigration status are kept in a separate part of the prison, referred to as the Foreigners Barracks. According to a factsheet from the prison, in 2017, the prison held 1,085 people who did not have legal status in the country. This included 640 women and 445 men. Of these, Venezuelans constituted an overwhelming majority with a total of 867 persons.
Few humanitarian organizations operate inside Curaçao, although IOM and the Red Cross maintain a local presence. UNHCR and one international nongovernmental organization are stationed on nearby Aruba. As a result, the response in Curaçao has been coordinated largely by local volunteers, most of whom are Venezuelans who have been on the island for several years. UNHCR has repeatedly offered to provide operational and legal support to Curaçao.
Although Curaçao states that it is not bound by the Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees, the country is subject to international law norms that prohibit refoulement. Curaçao is also bound by the European Convention of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. These obligations forbid Curaçao from transferring people to a place where they are at risk of serious human rights violations.
Since 2017, the number of Venezuelans fleeing their homes and crossing into neighboring countries has increased at alarming rates. Political and economic crises have left many without access to basic goods―including food and medicine― and social services. In February 2019, the number of refugees and migrants from Venezuela reached 3.4 million.1 The United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Refugees  ( UNHCR )  and the International Organization for Migration  ( IOM )  estimate that the total number of Venezuelans fleeing their country will reach 5.3 million by the end of 2019.
Of all the concerns raised by Venezuelans the Refugees International team interviewed, the most pressing was their inability to obtain work permits and work legally. Interviewees described being forced to work informally in jobs that paid lower wages and did not provide a stable income. Even for highly qualified people, the jobs available to them are mainly in construction, caring for children and elderly persons, and cleaning. When they inquired about jobs that could provide more stability and better wages, employers asked to see proof of their legal status in Curaçao, which they could not provide.
Therefore, it should come as no surprise that the 2019 U.S. TIP Report downgraded Curaçao from Tier 2 to the Tier 2 Watch List,51 in large measure because the government of Curaçao did not devote enough resources to prosecute alleged traffickers. The Tier 2 Watch List includes countries making some attempts to meet the minimum standards of the TVPA, but where the number of trafficking victims is increasing and efforts to combat trafficking have not improved from the previous year. The 2019 TIP Report notes that “undocumented migrants are at particular risk, including the influx of Venezuelan nationals.
Several interviews revealed testimonies from detained and removed foreigners about physical and psychological ill treatment, including threats, which they received at the hands of both the immigration authorities and prison personnel. In addition, the diaspora group Venex Curaçao has started to receive complaints from women that some prison guards now trade access to goods such as sanitary napkins or soap for sexual favours.
Many of the men, women and children with irregular immigration status in Curaçao come from Venezuela. The human rights situation in Venezuela has been a serious concern for Amnesty International for several years, including a spiralling crisis in food and health care provision, rising violence, and unrest. An estimated 2.3 million Venezuelans have fled the country up to June 2018. Colombia is receiving the highest number of Venezuelans seeking safety, with an estimated 870,000 currently living in the country. Albeit on a much smaller scale, the island of Curaçao, located some 70 kilometres from Venezuela, has also become a destination country for some Venezuelans seeking protection.
Fear of arrest, detention, and deportation As noted above, most Venezuelans are afraid to leave their houses because they worry the police will apprehend them. In addition to the women forced to work in bars, Refugees International interviewed several women who were experiencing domestic violence. These women were fearful of calling the police or getting treatment for their injuries because of their irregular status. Research from the United States has shown that, like undocumented women experiencing domestic violence, undocumented women who are exploited or trafficked rarely report crimes for fear of being detained or deported.
Partners also highlighted the need to provide services to children and youth and to refugees and migrants in detention facilities.
In Curaçao, partners trained five lawyers and eight volunteers from a locally based Dutch NGO on international protection and assistance programs for refugees and migrants during the month of August.

Sectors of intervention include food assistance; health care; legal assistance; and others.
The Government of Curaçao continues to detain and deport persons of concern in Curaçao, including individuals who have sought protection and despite the closure of the border. In the meantime, it is exceedingly difficult for refugees to access basic social and economic rights, including education, healthcare, and the right to work

NFI kits containing hygiene and household items were delivered to 59 individuals in Curaçao and the Dominican Republic.
Priority areas of intervention identified for the platform in 2019 include the creation of a safe and effective space for dialogue; set up clear objectives for the workgroup; provide services to refugees and migrants, including shelter solutions for those at risk and provision of psychosocial support; establish a system for vulnerability identification, case management and referrals; conduct capacity building; and prepare a joint communication strategy.
For 2020, partners noted the need to continue current activities; establish referral pathways; develop projects and programs, including psychosocial support interventions; organize capacity development activities; conduct outreach and communication with communities; engage in strategic organizational planning; organize campaigns to raise awareness on and prevent domestic violence and discrimination; and involve strategic actors in the response, such as the media, the private sector and other NGOs. Respondents suggested the expansion of the workgroup to include other relevant actors in Curacao, such as CBOs working with migrant communities and other people in need  ( Alianza, SEDA, DEDIMA, Skuchami ) , government representatives from the ministries of health and labor/social affairs, as well as other international organizations and NGOs active in the ABC islands  ( e.g. UNESCO, Amnesty International, Capriles, Yuda boy u, FMA, Doctores de Familia
UNHCR does not have a permanent presence on the islands but supports local partners in the area of legal assistance, medical assistance, and capacity building. UNHCR and IOM, estimate approximately 17,000 Venezuelans to be present in Curaçao.
The Government of Curaçao currently pursues a policy of detention and return of undocumented Venezuelans in Curaçao, and has sought support from the Kingdom of the Netherlands to increase its capacity to interdict, detain, and return individuals, including by expanding and improving detention facilities. Efforts to engage the Government of Curacao on alternatives to detention, access to territory, and access to protection have had limited impact. The government of Curaçao does not support UNHCR conducting registration of new arrivals on the ground and the Government of Curacao is very reticent to engage with UNHCR on any areas of reception of new arrivals from Venezuela.
The Government of Curaçao published a revised procedure for those seeking international protection, including Venezuelan refugees and migrants, under Article 3 of the European Convention of Human Rights  ( ECHR ) . Article 3 of the ECHR prevents forced return of persons to a country where they would face torture or inhumane or degrading treatment or punishment. The procedure, which was published in Dutch, details the process for applying for international protection, the issuance of a decision, and the steps after a decision is issued. The revised policy has been strengthened in regard to the right to appeal and clearly mentions protection against refoulement for individuals who are appealing for protection under Article 3.
As part of their emergency support, partners provided different forms of temporary accommodations and emergency shelter to a total of 648 individuals in Curaçao, the Dominican Republic, Guyana and Trinidad and Tobago as of September 2019. Partners in the Dominican Republic provided temporary accommodation and rental support to 182 Venezuelans with specific needs, including health related issues.

A través de un comunicado de prensa, emitido por Guardacostas de Curazao, se informó que la detención de varias lanchas con pasajeros venezolanos cerca de Aruba y Curazao demuestra que “el cruce a las islas ABC se lleva a cabo por grandes grupos con todos los riesgos asociados', sentenciaron las autoridades. “Las embarcaciones generalmente están en muy malas condiciones, el Mar Caribe es muy accidentado e impredecible y la gente suele llevar a demasiadas personas a bordo de estas pequeñas lanchas', se expresó de manera oficial, agregando además que en los casos reportados “el capitán y su tripulación no llevan suficiente equipo de seguridad a bordo, lo que significa que las personas a bordo tienen un alto riesgo de segurida
On 1 July, a medical clinic opened in Curaçao with the support of partners, providing basic health care, reproductive health consultations, prenatal and maternity care, contraceptives, as well as HIV and diabetes care for undocumented refugees and migrants on the island, who are not able to benefit from the national health insurance. In July alone, the clinic treated more than 160 patients  ( mainly Venezuelans ) . The clinic also provides psycho social support  ( one day per week, pro bono from a licensed therapist )  and will soon have options for paediatric services.
Until July 2017, UNHCR had an informal working relationship with the Red Cross on Curaçao in the absence of an official Curaçao asylum procedure. Applicants for international protection could register with UNHCR at the offices of the Red Cross. Regularly, a UNHCR team visited the island to conduct refugee status determination assessments. The two organisations also collaborated in the provision of support and reception.
In July 2017, Curaçao's government adopted a Ministerial Decision to take over the registration process of people in need of protection from UNHCR. This decision was taken without consulting with UNHCR. The new procedure devised by the Curaçao authorities was not made available to the public and did not provide for a transition period as the government took immediate and full responsibility for the registration of all protection requests. Since its decision to take over the processing of the applications, the Curaçao authorities have not issued any asylum laws or policies, and no statistics regarding asylum claimants have been published. In practice, it became very difficult for people seeking safety to request for international protection.
The severe human rights crisis including the lack of access to goods and healthcare and an increasingly deteriorated economy formed the reason behind this exodus.11 In response to large scale anti government protests in 2017 – some of which attracted tens of thousands of Venezuelans – the security forces cracked down on protestors. They have used undue, unnecessary or excessive force, detained thousands of people arbitrarily, and resorted to torture and other ill treatment of protesters.12 The judicial system is used to silence dissidents, including using military jurisdiction to prosecute civilians. Human rights defenders are harassed, intimidated and subject to raids. Conditions of detention are extremely harsh. Amnesty International has documented a vast number of human rights violations during periods of mass protests and social unrest,13 including cases of torture and other ill treatment of demonstrators held in state custody.
According to the UNHCR, there were 679 Venezuelan asylum seekers in Curaçao on 31 December 2017; and 78 in Aruba on 30 April 2018. Estimates on the number of Venezuelan migrants residing irregularly in Curaçao and Aruba vary. In September 2018, the government of Curaçao estimated that 6,000 Venezuelans were residing on the island. On 19 February 2019, the Red Cross estimated the number of Venezuelans in Curaçao to be 26,000 and 16,000 for Aruba.5 Most Venezuelans enter the country legally as a tourist, but they do not leave once the free period for their stay has expired.
In addition to the Kingdom as a whole, the government of Curaçao in particular has received considerable criticism about how it handles Venezuelan migrants  ( Human Rights Watch, 2018 )   ( Amnesty International, 2018 ) . According to the international organisations above, Venezuelan irregular migrants are, in practice, being detained in Curaçao before being expelled. Apparently, they are not receiving an opportunity to apply for international protection  ( Ombudsman Curaçao, 2018, 3.23 ) .
The government of Curaçao denies that it is violating the rights of Venezuelan migrants.12 In a letter from September 2018, it points out that since 2012 approximately 8,000 Venezuelans have sought refuge in Curaçao and that the numbers are exerting considerable pressure on the country, which only has 160,000 residents. According to its government, Curaçao is more heavily impacted by these numbers than the far larger neighbouring countries of Venezuela.
Due to the presence of thousands of irregular Venezuelans, there are problems with unfair competition on the labour market, an estimated 2,000 Venezuelan prostitutes and crimes such as human trafficking, according to the government of Curaçao. Curaçao believes that Amnesty International in its publication Locked up and expelled  ( Opgesloten en uitgezet )  largely ignores the difficult situation in which Curaçao finds itself. Furthermore, in its response to this report, Curaçao has indicated that improvements are needed on several points, such as the detention facilities and access to the ECHR procedure, but that it is in compliance with international agreements, including the prohibition on refoulement.
No data are available on the number of Venezuelans in an irregular situation currently in Curaçao, but according to estimates received by Refugees International, it could be as high as 10,000 to 13,000. Not only has the government of Curaçao failed to put in place a protection scheme for this population, it has enforced an “active removal strategy' by arresting, detaining, and deporting Venezuelans with irregular status. Curaçao is part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and as such is bound by several international human rights treaties and conventions, including the European Convention on Human Rights  ( ECHR ) . For Venezuelans in Curaçao, however, these rights are inaccessible.
Because of their irregular status and the government's policy of detaining and deporting people back to Venezuela, Venezuelans described to the team a life of hiding behind closed doors, in constant fear of the authorities. Because they cannot access the formal labor market, their only option is to work in the informal sector, where they are vulnerable to exploitation and have no legal protection or remedies against abusive employers. For women who face abuse at the hands of partners or ex partners, there is nowhere to turn for protection.
The countries of Latin America and the Caribbean host the vast majority of Venezuelans―an estimated 2.7 million.3 Some of the larger host countries in Latin America have put in place policies that include temporary residence permits that grant Venezuelans access to labor markets and education. However, such arrangements are far less common among host countries in the Caribbean. In Curaçao, they do not exist. Although official figures are not available, thousands of Venezuelans are estimated to be living on the island in an irregular situation, putting them at risk of arrest, deportation, and exploitation.
In February 2019, the government of the Netherlands established a humanitarian hub in Curaçao at the request of Curaçao, the United States, and Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaidó, whom the government of the Netherlands has recognized as the interim president of Venezuela.9 The hub is intended to coordinate the delivery of assistance to Venezuelans still in Venezuela, given the island's close proximity to the latter. In response, the Maduro government closed the border with Curaçao.
In recent years, the number of Venezuelans applying for asylum in Curaçao has risen sharply. In 2014, there were no applications. In 2015, three applicants filed for asylum; in 2016, that number rose to 13. In 2017, UNHCR received 663 applications.14 However, in July 2017, the government of Curaçao announced that it was taking over the process, thereby requesting that UNHCR suspend its registration activities. Subsequently, there has been no viable procedure for people to apply for asylum on the island.
According to the document issued by the Ministry of Justice, when the Curaçao authorities determine that an asylum seeker is eligible for protection under Article 3, the applicant should then be referred by the Ministry of Justice to UNHCR for RSD. However, at the end of March 2019, UNHCR informed Refugees International that it had not received any such referrals.
