Costa Rica does not officially have a military.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.constituteproject.org/constitution/Costa_Rica_2011?lang=en#38 )〕 However, it does have small paramilitary forces which perform policing and border patrol functions. == History == On December 1, 1948, President José Figueres Ferrer of Costa Rica abolished the military of Costa Rica after victory in the civil war in that year.〔(【引用サイトリンク】author=El Espíritu del 48 ) (Spanish)〕 In a ceremony in the ''Cuartel Bellavista'', Figueres broke a wall with a mallet symbolizing an end to Costa Rica's military spirit. In 1949, the abolition of the military was introduced in Article 12 of the Costa Rican Constitution. The budget previously dedicated to the military now is dedicated to security, education and culture. Costa Rica maintains Police Guard forces. The museum ''Museo Nacional de Costa Rica'' was placed in the ''Cuartel Bellavista'' as a symbol of commitment to culture. In 1986, President Oscar Arias Sánchez declared December 1 as the ''Día de la Abolición del Ejército'' (Military abolition day) with Law #8115. Unlike its neighbors, Costa Rica has not endured a civil war since 1948. Costa Rica maintains small forces capable of law enforcement and foreign peacekeeping, but has no permanent standing army. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Military of Costa Rica」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
