O contestado franco-brasileiro: os tratados sobre o limite territorial entre o Amapá e a Guiana Francesa

Abstract

Since the era of Colonization, the European powers contend the land located in the region known as Contestado Franco-Brasileiro, as well as they represent enrichment fast, due to the discovery of gold in the location, they represent the right to navigate the largest river basin in Brazil, the Amazon. Thus, for two hundred years, France disputed with Portugal and, after independence, with Brazil the possession of the lands of that region. Treaties were signed, but none have the desired effect, whether for breach of his terms, is the absence of ratification or even knowledge of the treaty by one party. The only question has been finally resolved through the International Arbitration, which ended the conflict by winning at stake to Brazil and stipulated the territorial boundary between the current state of Amapá and the recent Province of French Guiana.
