The South Atlantic Peace and Co-operation Zone (ZPCSA) was established in
1986 by the countries of the West African coast and those bordering the South
Atlantic. The Zone works as a catalyst for the promotion of dialogue and
cooperation among the countries of the Atlantic coast of West Africa and South
America. The ZPCSA was a Brazilian initiative looking at the broadening of an
area for economic and commercial co-operation, for scientific and technical
co-operation; and for initiatives of a political-diplomatic nature, aimed at
environmental protection, denuclearisation and the settling of conflicts. It is
an instrument that supplements other institutions and arrangements, and provides
Member States with mechanisms to better coordinate their actions in facing
common problems as to contribute to the promotion of democratic values,
expansion of trade and investment, air and sea links and the intensification of
South-South cooperation.
In September 1994 a Declaration on the
Denuclearization of the South Atlantic was adopted at a meeting of States
members of the zone held at Brasilia. The ZPCSA was an important instrument
which contributed to the political approximation of Africa and South American
countries.

Its flag is white with its emblem. The globe depicts the Atlantic region, and
it is hold by two hands. Around the all, names of various languages are placed
in color of the rainbow.
