Abstract
Formed by military contingents of Argentina, Brazil, Chile and United States (the Guarantor Countries), the Mission executed its activities between March 1995 and June 1999, in a border region of Peru and Ecuador at the Cenepa River’s Valley, near to Cordillera del Cóndor. It is a jungle region where there was no accordance between Quito and Lima about land delimitation marks, what led them to warfare in the beginning of 1995. The aim of MOMEP was to promote and supervise the withdrawal of both sides troops and subsequent consolidation of the cease-fire, which was required for the beginning and progress of the diplomatic conversations. The MOMEP was supposed to provide the necessary military conditions to the development of the peace process at the diplomatic instance. The Mission worked also with diplomats of the Guarantor Countries and of Peru and Ecuador, in some capitals where documents about the status of negotiations were emitted. The text perspective is analytically defined mainly by the Brazilian Army participation.
