At the end of the Cold War, the determination of both superpowers
to withdraw from Central America gave space to the Salvadoran
government and the Farabundo Marti para la Liberacion Nacional
(FMLN) to seek peace. For close to two years, they fought and
talked under strong external pressure. The UN played a central
mediating role, a first for the organization within the American
hemisphere. Negroponte here analyzes the peace process in
Washington, Moscow, and El Salvador, examining the work of Alvaro
de Soto, the establishment of a UN Truth and Reconciliation
Commission, and the peace keeping role of ONUSAL. She scrutinizes
the ramifications of this process: in 1992, the protagonists
reached a peace accord, but El Salvador has not been able to create
strong democratic institutions that an withstand further violence.
After two years of negotiations and a decade-long effort to
implement the peace accords, this work examines how peace was made
and questions whether it has endured. Are the current levels of
criminal violence a consequence of that civil war?
The resolution of the civil war in El Salvador coincided with the
end of the Cold War. After two years of negotiations and a
decade-long effort to implement the peace accords, this work
questions how peace was made and whether it has endured.
The CFR-sponsored Independent Task Force report, Defending an Open,
Global, Secure, and Resilient Internet, finds that as more people
and services become interconnected and dependent on the Internet,
societies are becoming increasingly vulnerable to cyberattacks. To
support security, innovation, growth, and the free flow of
information, the Task Force recommends that the United States and
its partners work to build a cyber alliance, make the free flow of
information a part of all future trade agreements, and articulate
an inclusive and robust vision of Internet governance. The Task
Force is chaired by John D. Negroponte, former deputy secretary of
state and director of national intelligence, and Samuel J.
Palmisano, former chairman of the board and CEO of IBM, and is
directed by Adam Segal, CFR's Maurice R. Greenberg Senior Fellow in
China Studies. The Task Force includes distinguished members and
observers from industry, academia, and nonprofits.
