The Cenepa War, fought between Peru and Ecuador from January to February, revolved around a long-standing territorial dispute over a remote area near the Cenepa River. The conflict reignited in January 1995, amid decades of tension dating back to the late 19th century. Both nations engaged in military confrontations, resulting in casualties and a significant military buildup on both sides. As the conflict escalated, international pressure increased for both governments to seek a peaceable resolution. The United Nations stepped in to mediate, ultimately facilitating negotiations that aimed at ending hostilities and restoring diplomatic relations. On February 17, a ceasefire agreement was reached, marking a crucial turning point in the conflict. The UN's involvement was pivotal, ensuring there was a framework for monitoring compliance with the ceasefire terms. The withdrawal of troops and a cease in hostilities were central to the agreement, with a particular emphasis on establishing a neutral buffer zone to prevent future conflicts. This ceasefire laid the groundwork for further diplomatic efforts to resolve underlying issues in the region.
