The '''Protocol of Peace, Friendship, and Boundaries between Peru and Ecuador''', or '''Rio Protocol''' for short, was an international agreement signed in [[Rio de Janeiro]], Brazil, on January 29, 1942, by the foreign ministers of [[Peru]] and [[Ecuador]], with the participation of the [[United States]], [[First Brazilian Republic|Brazil]], [[Chile]], and [[Argentina]] as guarantors. The Protocol was intended to finally resolve the long-running [[History of the Ecuadorian–Peruvian territorial dispute|territorial dispute]] between the two countries, and brought about the official end of the [[Ecuadorian–Peruvian War]] of 1941–1942. Nevertheless, the Protocol was incomplete, and war broke out between Peru and Ecuador twice more, in [[Paquisha War|1981]] and in [[Cenepa War|1995]], before the signing of the Itamaraty Peace Declaration which brought final resolution to the dispute.
