Esquipulas Peace Accords: Building Peace in Central America

Abstract

This article is intended to perform a general look at the Peace Process in Central America, after one of the most conflictive stages of its history. It reviews some of the particular characteristics that led each of these countries to take up arms but also those measures of national and international solidarity that contributed to the signing of the Esquipulas Accords and the subsequent agreements to recover and consolidate peace internally in each of the Central American countries.
