This article analyzes the positions of the Uruguayan exiles in the last years of authoritarianism in Uruguay. It focuses on the transformations that resulted from the opening up of political activity inside the country, starting in 1980, which forced the exiles to direct their attention to the domestic arena. This involved some adjustments in their transnational denouncing activity of human rights violations in their country, particularly regarding the balance between demands of “truth-telling” and “justice”. In addition, the article considers the complex and changing relationships between national and transnational activism in exile politics, in a time when military leaders and politicians negotiated a transition back to a democratic regime in Uruguay.
