Abstract
The massive flows of refugees in Latin American countries demanded new solutions and forced governments to abandon the Asylum tradition and apply the Universal System more extensively with the assistance of the UN Refugee Agency. In response to this refugee crisis a group of government representatives, academics and lawyers from Central America, Mexico and Panama met in Cartagena, Colombia, and adopted what became known as the Cartagena Declaration on Refugees. The argument of this paper is that the Declaration has made a substantial contribution to the Latin American System, however, in practice many challenges remain, the situation in Ecuador is revealing that unless robust and strong action is taken by Governments and Civil Society the current Asylum System in Latin America will promote exclusionary and minimalist practices.
