Which president of Costa Rica received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1987?

75% of players answered correctly.

THE CORRECT ANSWER: Oscar Arias Sánchez

Oscar Arias Sánchez, elected president of Costa Rica in 1986, had a profound impact on the diplomatic history of Central America at a time when the region was torn apart by violent civil wars, notably in Nicaragua, El Salvador and Guatemala. Refusing interference from Cold War superpowers, Arias courageously promoted a purely regional solution.His intense diplomatic activity led to the historic signing of the Esquipulas II Accords by five Central American Presidents in 1987. This innovative plan provided for a ceasefire, the promotion of pluralist democracy and free elections. This exceptional achievement earned him the Nobel Peace Prize that same year, cementing Costa Rica's reputation as a neutral and democratic haven of peace. He was re-elected president in 2006, continuing his commitment to global disarmament and the sustainable development of his nation.
