On this day in ...... 1987, in Guatemala City, the presidents of 5 Central American countries -- Costa Rica, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua -- signed the Esquipulas II Accord. The signing was part of a multiyear initiative designed to ease military conflict in the region. The contemplated means to that end were economic cooperation and a framework for peaceful conflict resolution.(credit for image of 1988 Guatemala postage stamp)
