Bolivia and Peru in Conflict

The president of Bolivia, Evo Morales, raised tensions between Bolivia and Peru in the Pacific Ocean, saying "The president of Peru, Alan García, maybe it's affecting a lot of fat and not well informed Bolivia never going to relinquish sovereign return to the sea?, as the Peruvian president had declared that "long ago renounced Bolivia landlocked. I have that impression because he has not returned to it firmly and clearly treat with Chile." These statements angered the Bolivian government, because Bolivia's position regarding the maritime theme has not changed. In Article 267, the Bolivian Constitution states: "The Bolivian government declared inalienable and indefeasible right to the territory that gives you access to the Pacific Ocean and sea space."

The loss of territory dates back to 1879, which Chile occupied the Bolivian port of Antofagasta, beginning the War of the Pacific in which Bolivia and Peru were defeated by Chile. Being stripped of her only possession coastline, have left Bolivia landlocked. Since the founding of the United Nations Organization (UN) in 1945 so far, Bolivia has asked the General Assembly to consider its request to recover a free and sovereign outlet to the Pacific Ocean. He has also presented the matter to the Organization of American States (OAS). The Bolivian government talks with Chile on an agenda that includes maritime claim, but in over three years, none of the two presidents have been informed of progress. President Evo Morales, claims to be a bilateral negotiation and private, which irritated President Alan Garcia, Peru therefore sued Chile to The Hague by the maritime boundary dispute. As if in northern Chile, is obliged to consult with Peru because those territories before the Pacific War were from Peru. Regarding the application to The Hague, President Morales said that the demand for Peru is one of the obstacles to Bolivia's maritime aspirations.

However, Morales is irritated with Peru, with Chile while maintaining warmth. This item has more than 130 years under discussion and still not see anything clear, it is very difficult to give a maritime access to Bolivia, but Bolivia does not lose faith.
