Abstract

FLORES DIAZ, Sebastián. The Chilean-Peruvian alliance of the 1929 Treaty and the Bolivian third party. Rev. Fac. Derecho Cienc. Polit. - Univ. Pontif. Bolivar. [online]. 2021, vol.51, n.135, pp.442-466.  Epub Jan 12, 2022. ISSN 0120-3886.  https://doi.org/10.18566/rfdcp.v51n135.a07.

The spirit of the 1929 Peace and Friendship Treaty between Chile and Peru was a focused alliance established to seal a defense against Bolivian claims to annex Tacna and Arica. This spirit is reflected in the division of the disputed territories, as well as in Article 3 of the Complementary Protocol, which establishes, in a cryptic way, that neither Chile nor Peru could cede those territories to Bolivia.

The explanation lies in the 45 years of conflicts between Chile and Peru due to the Bolivian claim to annex the Peruvian territories occupied by Chile after the War of the Pacific. However, after the cession of Arica, Bolivia's founding claim to annex this port was directed against Chile. After the 1929 Treaty, Bolivian diplomacy worked to break this alliance, which was eventually achieved in 1975 with the Charaña agreements.
