Why Costa Rica
A nation that chose peace as its national infrastructure.
Pura Vida · 1948
In 1948, Costa Rica abolished its army.
National capacity was redirected toward education, biodiversity and long-term human development. It is one of the only jurisdictions on earth to have institutionalized peace as a strategic decision rather than a moral aspiration — and one of the most credible long-term operating environments in the Americas.

A Founding Geography
Institutions require ground. Ours is a jurisdiction whose modern identity was built on the conviction that peace is not an outcome — it is strategic infrastructure.
From this geography, Global Peace Hub coordinates principals, institutions and capital across continents. Costa Rica is our base — not our boundary.
