| Sumario: | Abstract: The Laguna del Desierto arbitration determined the demarcation of
the section of the Argentine-Chilean border between boundary
mark 62 (48°51’S) and Mount Fitz-Roy (49°16’S). It brought an end
to a disagreement that threatened to escalate into war in 1965.
From 1810 until 1994, Argentina and Chile were unable to agree on
whose territory the Laguna del Desierto was located. It was a long
process leading to a peaceful settlement of the dispute that
became an example for the Latin American region. It was the first
time that countries in South America allowed regional experts to
decide a territorial dispute instead of having European monarchs or
US umpires settle the border.
The Latin American tribunal rendered its arbitral award on 21
October 1994. It decided that the Laguna del Desierto belongs to
Argentina. |
