The minimum you must know


The Bolivian government's devotion to peace throughout the 20th and 21st centuries is obvious in subtle choices and recent public presentations.


Bolivia has had a history of peace since entering into a "Treaty of Peace and Friendship" with bordering Chile in 1904. All of the most important Bolivian branches of government, including the executive, legislative, and electoral, moved into a complex called, "Paz" (or "Peace" in English). Bolivia is located in a peaceful non-coastal region, including some of the Andes mountains. And there is a constitutional commitment to peaceful resolution of any maritime matters. (Bolivia does seek sovereign access to the Pacific Ocean at the United Nations.)


Bolivan Minister for Foreign Affairs Celinda Sosa Lunda spoke eloquently at the United Nations about peace. She called upon all nations to resolve differences diplomatically. She furthermore seeks to lift up lower classes globally, which she believes is important to global tranquility. Bolivia is calling for global cooperation to improve the environment through multilateral diplomacy.


The Bolivian government sometimes demonstrates tremendous integrity maintaining order (very effectively!) through startling internal challenges, including recently.


The Bolivian government considers itself non-aligned between NATO and non-NATO states. But Bolivia has been calling for an end to trade restrictions on Cuba and Venezuela for many years, an attitude that only recent gained momentum in the United States and Europe.
