President for the República de Costa Rica

At the present, Oscar Arias is Costa Rica's president. He's a lawyer, a economist, a politics and business man and a philosopher. He ruled his country during 1986 to 1990 and from 2006 to 2010.

In 1987 he received the Nobel Peace Prize because of his participation in the peace prosecution in the army conflicts in Central America countries during the eighties, specially because of his opposition to the United States of America support in favour of the Contras in Nicaragua's conflict.

He threw down his name as a candidate for the presidency of his country on June in 2005, after the Sala Constitucional de la Corte Suprema de Justicia (Constitucional Court at the Supreme Court of Justice) pronounces that the Constitutional reform that prevent the presidential re-election breaks basic citizen's rights. He won election in 2006 with a narrow margin of 1,1 % over his straight in succession, Ottón Solís Fallas.
