Basics
While Costa Rica has managed to avoid nearly all large-scale regional conflicts, it continues to experience some problems, including border conflicts with Nicaragua and Panama, illegal immigration, and drug trafficking. It has managed to navigate these issues through diplomacy and a commitment to international institutions, including the Organization of American States, the United Nations, and the Inter-American Human Rights Court. Economically, as a member of the Central American Common Market (CACM), Costa Rica subscribes to a uniform external tariff as well as a policy of internal free trade. To help combat drug trafficking, Costa Rica signed a bilateral maritime counter-drug agreement with the US, which has been in effect since late 1999.
