About this Item

Print on Demand. This book is an examination of the arbitration of the boundary question between Costa Rica and Panama, as well as the legal issues surrounding the demarcation of the boundary line. It begins with the 1825 treaty between the Republic of Colombia (whose rights are now claimed by Panama) and the Central American Republic (of which Costa Rica formed a part), in which both parties guaranteed the integrity of their respective territories. The author traces the subsequent history of the boundary dispute, including the various agreements and conventions that were signed in an attempt to resolve it. The book also examines the legal basis for the boundary line, including the relevant Spanish colonial laws and the decisions of the Spanish Crown. The author argues that the boundary line was definitively established in the 16th century by the Spanish Crown and that it has been confirmed by subsequent treaties and agreements. This book is a valuable contribution to the literature on international law and boundary disputes. It provides a detailed and comprehensive analysis of the legal issues surrounding the Costa Rica-Panama boundary dispute and offers a persuasive argument for the validity of the existing boundary line. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
