Resumen
Descripción
El presente artículo identifica las particularidades del asilo diplomático concedido al expresidente José Tadeo Monagas en la sede de la legación francesa en Caracas (1858) con el propósito de mostrar dos problemáticas asociadas a la codificación del asilo en el derecho internacional a mediados del siglo XIX. En primer lugar, la delgada línea que separaba el derecho del solicitante y el derecho del Estado soberano a admitir o no, el ingreso del extranjero. Y en segundo lugar, el inevitable deterioro de las relaciones diplomáticas -que se habían desarrollado en el marco de una particular tensión entre una potencia que intentaban ganar espacio geopolítico y económico frente a sus rivales y una nación periférica que procuraba abrirse espacio en el escenario internacional poco después de obtener su reconocimiento- entre los estados vinculados con la expulsión y la recepción del asilado.
This article identifies the particularities of the diplomatic asylum granted to ex-president José Tadeo Monagas at the headquarters of the French legation in Caracas (1858) in order to show two problems associated with the codification of asylum in international law in the middle of the century XIX. In the first place, the fine line that separated the right of the applicant and the right of the sovereign State to admit or not, the entry of the foreigner. And secondly, the inevitable deterioration of diplomatic relations -which had developed within the framework of a particular tension between a power that was trying to gain geopolitical and economic space against its rivals and a peripheral nation that was trying to open space on the international stage shortly after obtaining its recognition- among the states linked to the expulsion and reception of the asylee.
