EL DERECHO HUMANO AL ASILO ANTE LA SECURITIZACIÓN DE LA MIGRACIÓN EN MÉXICO.

We undertake a socio-legal analysis regarding the nature of asylum and its growing ambiguity given Mexico's historical tradition of solidarity towards migrants in need of international protection. We discuss the geopolitical situation regarding the migration policy of the United States and Mexico, and contrast it with how asylum has evolved within the legal regulations of the universal human rights and the Inter-American systems, as well as its relationship with Mexican regulations. We conclude that in order for the concept of asylum to be considered a human right, it must be redefined in Mexico to have greater scope in keeping with the current state of human mobility, in line with other concepts of international protection, such as refuge and supplementary protection.
