The National Migration System of Colombia, regulated by the Law 1465 of 2011, contains several inconsistencies in the matter of Human Rights. Despite having been declared constitutional by the Constitutional Court, this law lacks a true approach to safeguarding Human Rights. This being so, it is not surprising that migrant population suffers from several difficulties when seeking adequate protection of their basic needs.
Within the framework of this situation, the strategic litigation - with its multiple legal, political, media and logistic strategies - and the Legal Clinics are established as precise tools of social impact, acting independently of political influences to briefly solve the problem described here.
The present paper, at first, will analyze some specific and weak points of the aforementioned law, and in a second moment, it will outline the contributions of the strategic litigation and the Legal Clinics in these circumstances.
Thus, in the present Colombian legal, political and social context, a critical analysis of the current legislation and jurisprudence will be carried out, highlighting new solutions in which the strategic litigation and the Legal Clinics are presented in face of the migratory challenges in a highly globalized world.

[1] Law 93 of 1998, judgment C-1023/12 of the Colombian Constitutional Court- 14. At first, the judgment in question carried out a complete study on the constitutional protection of copyright, based on its consecration in article 61 Political Constitution of Colombia 1991 Thus, it established the following rules in this regard:
14.1. From the national and international regulations on the subject, it is concluded that the legal protection of copyright falls on all those creations of the spirit, in the scientific, literary or artistic field, whatever the genre, form of expression, and regardless of the literary or artistic merit, or its destination. Within this protection, and in the aforementioned terms, books, brochures and other writings are included, without excluding any species. 14.2. Copyright contains two types of prerogatives: moral rights, which are related to the faculty of the creator, as a natural person, so that his work is known and maintains its integrity and ownership, so they are personal, extra-patrimonial, imprescriptible, inalienable, and inalienable. Moral rights, in this sense, deal with (i) the right to disclose the work; (ii) the right to recognition of intellectual paternity; (iii) the right to respect and integrity of the work, preventing unauthorized modifications to it; and (iv) the right of withdrawal, which allows the author to withdraw it from the trade.
On the other hand, the author's economic rights have, as its name implies, economic content and are concentrated in the payment to the creator or the natural or legal person who owns the rights for those activities that involve the exploitation of the protected work. Among the variables of these faculties are (i) the right of material reproduction; (ii) the right of non-material public communication, representation, public execution and broadcasting; and (iii) the transformation, translation, adaptation and musical arrangement, as well as any other form of use of the work. Intellectual property rights. Employers and / or funders must ensure that researchers benefit, at any stage of their careers, from the possible exploitation of their R&D results through adequate legal protection, especially in the area of intellectual property rights protection and of copyright. Policies and practices should specify the rights that correspond to researchers and / or, where appropriate, their employers or other interested parties, including external commercial or industrial entities, as envisaged possibly under specific collaboration agreements or other types agree. Co-authorship. When evaluating staff, institutions should positively value co-authorship as it demonstrates a constructive approach to research practice. Therefore, employers and / or funders must develop strategies, practices and procedures that offer researchers, including those who are at the beginning of their careers, the necessary conditions so that they can enjoy the right to be recognized, mentioned and / or cited, within their actual contributions, as co-authors of reports, patents, etc. or publish the results of their own research, independently of their supervisors ("The Commission of the European Communities", 2005).
