Book Description
This paper discusses the background to, possible contexts of, and likely difficulties with, an eventual Central American peace accord particularly its verification. It begins with a brief analysis of the political, military and diplomatic background of the regional crisis, setting the scene for a look at the verification aspects of the peace negotiations and agreements to date: Contadora, Esquipulas II, and Sapo . It shows what kind of further agreement one might see in the future, doing this by examining both "minimum" and "maximum" content possibilities. This is followed by a discussion of the verification implications of such agreements and the political, geographical, social, and technical difficulties they might pose.
