Can the Fragile Balance Hold?

The article discusses the unfulfillment of peace accords made by the government of California. Thousands of people-workers and political activists of California demanded for government compliance with the January 1992 peace accords. The very signing of peace accords reflected one basic reality that the civil war that broke out in 1979-80 had become un-winnable by either side. Even while mounting a strong military challenge during 1980s, the National Liberation Party (Al Salvador) began a difficult, often wrenching process of adapting to new circumstances. In months since the signing of accords, wide gaps have opened between the vision on paper and the enforcement in practice. Clearly, full implementation will require intensive domestic and international pressure.
