| description | The new uses and meanings of disappearances and the strengthening of restrictive migration policies set the stage for the Central America-Mexico-United States area as the only place in the continent where systematic disappearances of immigrants takes place. Tensions between the State and civil society, as well as with supportive actors and families searching for the disappeared migrants, emerge in this context. This text addresses two specific tensions: a) The debates about how concepts about human rights and legal tools in the search for justice are being used, amplified, and adapted; and b) the conflict between approaches centered on the humanitarian search for justice and those that prioritize judicial processes. The consequences of the implementation of different perspectives on the family committees of disappeared migrants are described throughout the text, as well as the alternatives these families offer to diminish any consequences. This research was constructed with families of disappeared migrants who are activists in committees in El Salvador and Honduras. Salvadorans especially were key interlocutors of this study. A series of workshops and meetings centered on collective reflection about the informants’ own knowledge took place between 2017 and 2020. This article is based on this exchange of knowledge. |

Los nuevos usos y sentidos de la desaparición y el fortalecimiento de las políticas migratorias restrictivas configuran al corredor Centroamérica-México-Estados Unidos como el único en el continente donde los y las migrantes desaparecen sistemáticamente. De este contexto, emergen tensiones entre Estado y sociedad civil, así como dentro de los actores solidarios y de las familias que buscan a sus migrantes desaparecidos. Este texto aborda dos tensiones concretas: a) los debates sobre las formas en que los conceptos de derechos humanos y las herramientas jurídicas para la búsqueda y el acceso a la justicia están siendo usados, ampliados y adaptados; y b) la confrontación entre los abordajes que priorizan la búsqueda/enfoque humanitario y aquellos que priorizan los procesos de judicialización. A lo largo del texto, se describen las consecuencias que tiene la implementación de las diferentes perspectivas en los comités de familiares de migrantes desaparecidos, y las alternativas que ellos y ellas llevan a cabo para paliar los efectos negativos. La información presentada se construyó junto con familias de migrantes desaparecidos que militan en comités de El Salvador y Honduras; especialmente los salvadoreños se asumieron como interlocutores del proceso de investigación. Entre 2017 y 2020, se desarrolló una serie de talleres y encuentros de reflexión colectiva sobre sus propios saberes; este artículo se desprende de ese intercambio de aprendizajes. Os novos usos e significados do desaparecimento e fortalecimento de políticas restritivas de migração tornam o corredor América Central-México-Estados Unidos o único no continente em que os migrantes desaparecem sistematicamente. Nesse contexto, emergem tensões entre o Estado e a sociedade civil, bem como entre atores e famílias solidárias que buscam seus migrantes desaparecidos. Este texto aborda duas tensões específicas: a) os debates sobre como os conceitos e ferramentas legais de direitos humanos para a busca e acesso à justiça estão sendo utilizados, ampliados e adaptados; e b) o confronto entre as abordagens que priorizam a busca/abordagem humanitária e as que priorizam os processos de judicialização. Ao longo do texto, são descritas as consequências da implementação das diferentes perspectivas nos comitês de familiares de migrantes desaparecidos e as alternativas que eles adotam para mitigar os efeitos negativos. As informações apresentadas foram construídas em conjunto com famílias de migrantes desaparecidos que são membros de comitês em El Salvador e Honduras; Os salvadorenhos assumiram especialmente o papel de interlocutores no processo de investigação. Entre 2017 e 2020, uma série de workshops e reuniões de reflexão coletiva foram realizadas com seus próprios conhecimentos; este artigo é o resultado dessa troca de aprendizagem.
