The Parlacen represents a modern renewal of the historic United Provinces Of Central America which existed from 1823 to 1840. The Parlacen has its more recent origins in the Contadora Group , a Project launched in the 1980s to help deal with Civil War s in El Salvador , Guatemala and Nicaragua . Although the Contadora was Dissolved in 1986 , the idea for Central American Integration remained, and its works were taken by the Esquipulas Peace Agreement , which, among other acts, agreed to the creation of the Central American Parliament. The following countries each return 20 directly-elected deputies to the Parliament: In spite of its efforts to promote the Esquipulas Agreement, Costa Rica has not yet ratified and is consequently not represented in the Parlacen.
