The paper examines negotiated resolution of armed conflicts through an account of the war between El Salvador and Honduras. The situation before the conflict, characterized by deep political instability and marked influence of the military is dealt with. After mentioning the reasons of constraints in their relationship attention is focused on war operations as well as on the various vain attempt made by regional organizations to solve the conflict before both parties signed a peace treaty. Finally, some comments are offered regarding action mechanisms used in the case, suggesting the appropriateness of counting with permanent crisis management systems which would prevent their escalation to an armed conflict
