		He is perhaps best known worldwide for his role in the signing of the Esquipulas Peace Agreement which is regarded as the crucial plan which led to the eventual end to the series of civil wars that took place throughout Central America, most notably in Nicaragua, El Salvador, and Guatemala, during the 1980s.
		He believes that the death of Costa Rica's two-party system shows that the system made it too difficult to reach agreements and that the new multiparty system that the country now has is better.
