A study of the forced migration from Río de la Plata to Mexico, in the 1970's and 1980's decades, as a component of the migratory flows of the XX century; these population movements acted as detonators in the generation of protection devices for the persecuted people in the world. The article aims at examining and valuing, in a comparative framework, some of the variables referred to: i) the inter-American and international instruments of protection, e.g., asylum and refuge to those appealed by the Argentinean and Uruguayan persecuted people; ii) the recognition of this instruments and the application which Mexican State carried out; iii) the limits imposed by the strategies of domestic and foreign policy when facing the concrete experience, and iv) the efficacy of the protection devices to face new realities and repressive forms.
