Argentina - Peru
Bilateral in force
INTRODUCTION
In 1998, Argentina and Peru considered the various human rights international instruments both countries had ratified and agreed on their shared responsibility to adopt measures organising migration flows due to the difficulties some migrants faced in accessing their rights. In line with this, they decided to adopt a Migration Covenant establishing a free movement regime. Later, they adopted two Additional Protocols in 1999 and 2002, respectively, and an Agreement by Exchange of Notes in 2004 that modified and interpreted certain aspects of the Covenant. In 2007, both countries decided to adopt an Agreement on Residence for Nationals of both countries, which took into account the MERCOSUR Residence Agreement. The Agreement aims to provide a solution to the migratory situation of certain nationals to more effectively provide for their inclusion in the host society. It has been in force since 10 December 2009. On 28 June 2011, Peru acceded to the MERCOSUR Residence Agreement, Bolivia and Chile.
