===Territorial disputes with Argentina===
During Aylwin's government, the territorial disputes with Argentina were treated differently, the Concertación wanted to solve the issues diplomatically, even if this meant to renounce to historic territorial claims. Aylwin met with Argentine President Carlos Menem in 1991 and they reached an agreement on the Southern Patagonian Ice Fields that wasn't ratified by the Congresses of both countries. However in 1994, the territory known as ''Laguna del Desierto'', disputed since 1965, was submitted to arbitration with Latin American judges. The judges in 3 to 2 favored Argentina and Chile lost the dispute because of the approachment of the government.

Only popular and congressional pressure managed to convince the government to send a response to the ruling with Chile's disclaimers shortly thereafter.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.soberaniachile.cl/resumen_de_las_ocho_entregas_de_territorio_chileno_a_argentina.html|title=RESUMEN HISTÓRICO DE LAS OCHO ENTREGAS DE TERRITORIO CHILENO A LA ARGENTINA ENTRE LOS AÑOS 1881 Y 1998|language=es|publisher=Corporación de Defensa de la Soberanía|date=February, 2005}}</ref>
