| description | The goal of this paper is to address recent changes over Argentine migration policy, particularly reforms introduced by the Necessity and Urgency Decree (Decreto de Necesidad y Urgencia-DNU) 70, issued by the executive branch in January 2017, to highlight the current links between migrations, human rights and security. Argentina’s case is of the most importance given that its Migration Law (from 2004) has recognized the highest standards on human rights, which should limit certain actions of the State taken in the name of security. Measures adopted by Cambiemos government (a right based coalition that won in 2015) are based on a direct linkage between migration and criminality, intended to rewrite migration policy in the field of security to emphasize control, instead of social integration of migrants. In this frame, we believe DNU 70 set an example that allows analyzing the paradox encompasses in the criminalization of migrations, with consequences such as more exceptionalism in sovereignty, even though in a context of general recognition of human rights. This article goes about these tensions expecting Argentina’s case may illuminate others. |

Este artículo tiene por objetivo abordar los recientes cambios operados en la política migratoria argentina, con especial énfasis en las modificaciones introducidas por el Decreto de Necesidad y Urgencia (DNU) 70 (de enero de 2017), con vistas a iluminar los vínculos actuales entre migraciones, derechos humanos y seguridad. El caso argentino resulta de especial interés porque la Ley Migratoria vigente desde 2004 incorpora importantes estándares de derechos humanos, que deberían funcionar como límite al avance de ciertas prerrogativas soberanas del Estado en nombre la seguridad. Las distintas medidas adoptadas por el Gobierno de la alianza Cambiemos, desde su llegada al poder en 2015, se basaron en una vinculación directa entre migración y criminalidad, dirigida a reinscribir la política migratoria en el terreno de la seguridad y a enfatizar el control, en detrimento de la integración de las personas migrantes. Creemos que el DNU 70 tiene un carácter ejemplar para el análisis específico de las paradojas que entraña la criminalización de las migraciones, con el consecuente avance de la excepcionalidad soberana, en un contexto normativo de reconocimiento de los derechos humanos. Sobre estas tensiones versa el presente artículo, con la expectativa de que este caso pueda alumbrar otros similares. Abstract The goal of this paper is to address recent changes over Argentine migration policy, particularly reforms introduced by the Necessity and Urgency Decree (Decreto de Necesidad y Urgencia-DNU) 70, issued by the executive branch in January 2017, to highlight the current links between migrations, human rights and security. Argentina’s case is of the most importance given that its Migration Law (from 2004) has recognized the highest standards on human rights, which should limit certain actions of the State taken in the name of security. Measures adopted by Cambiemos government (a right based coalition that won in 2015) are based on a direct linkage between migration and criminality, intended to rewrite migration policy in the field of security to emphasize control, instead of social integration of migrants. In this frame, we believe DNU 70 set an example that allows analyzing the paradox encompasses in the criminalization of migrations, with consequences such as more exceptionalism in sovereignty, even though in a context of general recognition of human rights. This article goes about these tensions expecting Argentina’s case may illuminate others. Este artigo tem por objetivo abordar as recentes mudanças operadas na política migratória argentina, com especial ênfase nas modificações introduzidas pelo "Decreto de Necesidad y Urgencia", (DNU) 70 (de janeiro de 2017), com vistas a iluminar os vínculos atuais entre migrações, direitos humanos e segurança. O caso argentino resulta de especial interesse porque sua lei migratória vigente incorpora importantes parâmetros de direitos humanos que deveriam funcionar como limite ao avanço de certas prerrogativas soberanas do Estado em nome da segurança. As distintas medidas adotadas pelo governo da alianza “Cambiemos", desde sua ascensão a finais de 2015, basearam-se em uma vinculação direta entre migração e criminalidade com vistas a reinscrever a política migratória no terreno da segurança e enfatizar o controle em detrimento da integração das pessoas migrantes. Cremos que o DNU70 tem um caráter exemplar para a análise específica dos paradoxos referentes a criminalização das migrações, com o consequente avanço da excepcionalidade soberana, em um contexto normativo de reconhecimento dos direitos humanos. Sobre estas tensões versará o presente artigo, com a expectativa de que este caso possa auxiliar na interpretação de outros similares.
