Publishing production: English, Publishing and Library Section, United Nations Office at Vienna. Preface As the guardian of the United Nations Transnational Organized Crime Convention and the Protocols thereto, UNODC is mandated to support States Parties in efforts to fulfill their obligations under these instruments. It is in this context that we present this Issue Paper on the “financial or other material benefit” element of the international legal definition of smuggling of migrants as set out in the Protocol against the Smuggling of Migrants by Land, Sea and Air supplementing the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime (Smuggling of Migrants Protocol). This study follows earlier work undertaken by UNODC to elaborate guidance on concepts contained in the definition of human trafficking. The series of Issue Papers that were produced on the basis of that work have been welcomed by States Parties to the Protocol on Trafficking in Persons Especially Women and Children supplementing the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime and have been used in developing new laws and interpreting existing ones.

    La magnitud de los ujos migratorios de mexicanos hacia Estados Unidos, la creciente complejidad del fenómeno y los patrones emergentes en la dinámica migratoria han impulsado la generación de información estadística para cuanticar y caracterizar la migración mexicana hacia Estados Unidos. En respuesta a esta demanda de información, diversas instituciones han participado, en distintos momentos, desde el año 1993, en la aplicación continua de la Encuesta sobre Migración en la Frontera Norte de México ( ). La encuesta provee información sistemática que permite conocer y analizar las tenden- cias y características de los distintos ujos migratorios entre México y Estados Unidos. La capta el desplazamiento de los migrantes y proporciona información sobre los volúmenes, el origen y destino de los movimientos migratorios, la trayectoria laboral, los motivos de la migración, las condiciones del desplazamiento los riesgos que enfrentan los migrantes en el cruce de la frontera y sus condiciones de acceso al mercado laboral estadounidense. Captar los constan- tes cambios que experimenta el fenómeno migratorio ha exigido, rigor metodológico y ajustes continuos en los instrumentos utilizados para la aplicación de la encuesta. La presente publicación tiene como propósito poner a disposición de servidores públicos, académicos, organismos de la sociedad civil, y público en general, un conjunto de artículos que abordan algunos de los resultados que la encuesta ha aportado a lo largo de 20 años de aplicación.
