I10-R362-article-422112024-07-29T13:54:38Z Chile's Asylum Policy in Cuba in 1959 La política de asilo de Chile en Cuba en 1959 Herrera Saldías, Ricardo Antonio Chile Política de Asilo Cuba Chile Asylum Policy Cuba This article analyzes, from a historical perspective, the policy and practice of diplomatic asylum of the Chilean government in Cuba during January-March 1959. A policy that continued in force until August 1964, the date on which Chile broke diplomatic relations with Cuba. Coinciding with the escape of the dictator Fulgencio Batista from Cuba on January 1, 1959, there was an important request for asylum from his supporters in different embassies in Havana, including the Chilean diplomatic representation, which was the one that received the most asylum seekers. The so-called “problem of the embassies”, which should have been solved in a few weeks, took two months, being finally resolved after Fidel Castro took office as Prime Minister. Based on these events, and those that occurred in the following months, Cuba would adopt a clearer criterion on the application of the right of diplomatic asylum. This research is based, mainly, on the qualitative study of documentation from Chile (Archivo General Histórico del Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores) and Cuba (Archivo General Histórico del Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores, Archivo Histórico del Consejo de Estado and Biblioteca Nacional José Martí). Este artículo analiza, desde la perspectiva histórica, la política y la práctica del asilo diplomático del gobierno de Chile en Cuba durante enero-marzo de 1959. Dicha política continuó vigente hasta agosto de 1964, fecha en que Chile rompió relaciones diplomáticas con Cuba. Coincidiendo con la fuga del dictador Fulgencio Batista de Cuba el 1 de enero de 1959, se produjo una importante demanda de asilo de sus partidarios en distintas embajadas en La Habana, incluida la representación diplomática chilena, que fue la que más asilados recibió. El entonces denominado “problema de las embajadas”, que debería haber sido solucionado en pocas semanas, demoró dos meses, y finalmente fue resuelto luego de que Fidel Castro asumiera como primer ministro. A partir de estos hechos y los sucedidos en los meses siguientes, Cuba adoptaría un criterio más claro sobre la aplicación del derecho de asilo diplomático. La presente investigación se sustenta, principalmente, en el estudio cualitativo de documentación tanto de Chile (Archivo General Histórico del Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores) como de Cuba (Archivo General Histórico del Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores, Archivo Histórico del Consejo de Estado y Biblioteca Nacional José Martí).
