Abstract

The article analyzes the judgment of the Inter- American Court of Human Rights in the Familia Pacheco Tineo vs. Plurinational State of Bolivia case. Three aspects are considered. First, the application of the criteria set out in former decisions on guarantees in case of expulsion of foreigners and their relationship with the principle of non-refoulement. Second, the consideration of the Court (for the first time) on the right to seek and receive asylum recognized in the American Convention. Third, the attention put into the special protection that migrant children receive, both in relation to the expulsion from the territory of the State and the right to asylum, in view of the protection of their best interest. The article places the judgement in the context of the Inter-American Court and Commission precedents, on the issues involved and reveals its innovative contributions.
