The Hispano-American nations recently emancipated in the early 19th century face not only the problems caused by the transition from a colonial system to a republican system of government, but also the fear of an eventual re-conquest or the military intervention of some other European power. In response to this, the creation of measures meant to prevent other nations from abusing their power takes shape in the form of their own American International Law, along with the rejection of already existent systems inappropriate for the American reality. In this sense, we will perform an analysis of how these young republics reinforced their diplomatic relationships and organized a series of congresses, such as the Congress of Panama and the Congress of Lima, where the foundations for the American Code of International Law were laid as well as revealed the contradictions between the supranational objectives and the search for reassurance by the new governments. Similarly, we will evaluate the conditions under which this process expanded and the way it responded to the situations that originated from the debates between those who supported the idea of a big Continental Confederation and those who defended national interests, which allowed the birth of a new political culture and an international political agenda among widespread local political instability.
