See the talk page of the War of the Pacific entry [1]for a discussion of the controversy generated by mention of the historical legacy shaping the current Chilean-Peruvian maritime dispute. User:Bdean1963 14 February, 2007

This as an absolutely Peruvian POV article, though I am aware its understandable, as it is a new/fresh article, which has been recently created and edited only by Peruvians so far (nothing personal). Next days, I will take the time to translate the very accurate and reliable spanish version, which is very stable and has been elaborated by Chilean and Peruvian in cooperation.

On January 26th, 2007, Peru’s government issued a protest against Chile’s demarcation of the coastal frontier the two countries share. According to the Peruvian Foreign Ministry, the Chilean legislatures have endorsed a plan regarding the Arica and Parinacota region which does not comply with the current, established territorial demarcation. Moreover, they allege that the proposed Chilean law includes an assertion of sovereignty over 19,000 sq. meters of land in Peru's Department of Tacna.

For its part, the Chilean government has asserted that the region in dispute is not a coastal site named Concordia, but instead refers to boundary stone No. 1, which is located to the northeast and 200 meters inland. ^[1]

A possible border dispute was averted when the Chilean Constitutional Court ruled on January 26th, 2007 unconstitutional legislation that Peru said could be seen as a move by Chile to encroach on its maritime territorial sovereignty. While agreeing with the court's ruling, the Chilean government reiterated its stance that the maritime borders between the two nations were not in question and have been formally by the international community. [2]

It has been reported that following the Chilean judicial ruling in Lima’s favor, the Peruvian government has stated that it might turn to the international court at The Hague to solve the dispute.^[2]
