💨 Abstract

The small island of Santa Rosa in the Amazon is at the center of a diplomatic dispute between Peru and Colombia. Colombian President Gustavo Petro recently accused Peru of violating the Protocolo de Río de Janeiro by claiming Santa Rosa, part of the disputed Chinería Island. Peru contests this, asserting its sovereignty based on the 1922 Treaty of Lozano-Salomón.
