Abstract
The events which disturbed South America started in the 70's and during the period 1975-1982 for Central America. Encouraged by the reversal of power of general Pinochet in Chili on September the 11th in 1973, other countries of the South American continent (Argentina, Uruguay, Brasil) suffered dictatorship and refugee flows. After that, it was Central America's turn (in Nicaragua, Salvador, Guatemala) to endure political repression and civil war that caused massif population exodus. At the end of the Central American crisis and the huge wage of refugee claims that followed in the late eighties, the States of the Region had to adapt their legislation concerning the asylum seekers and refugees' protection. It was relevant to raise the antecedents, the principles and the state practices that inspired and nurture the cartagena declaration on Refugees of 1984. When the refugee camps in Mexico and Central America closed in the mid-90s, the number of asylum claims rose again. These events created different kinds of situations. A lot of people had to move inside their country because of the persecutions, violence and drug traffics. Thus, almost one million people had to flee from their country.
