Peru Finishes
Report On Maritime Border Dispute With Chile
Lima - Peru has
finished a report on its maritime border
dispute with Chile and will present the
document to the International Court of
Justice in The Hague, Foreign Minister Jose
Garcia Belaunde said on Monday.
The document includes the mapping and legal
support of Peru's demand to Chile to return
38,000km of sea in the Pacific Ocean, Garcia
told the press.
Garcia said that after Peru delivers the
report on March 20, Chile has one year to
present its bases and the ruling will be
given around 2016.
In January 2008, Peru began a lawsuit in The
Hague, asking the court to solve the
controversy the country has with Chile on
their maritime borders.
Chile insists it does not have pending
complaints with Peru and that the maritime
borders were established in agreements
signed in 1952 and 1954. But Peru argues
that those are not border demarcation deals
but fishing agreements.
Due to Chile's refusal to solve the dispute
through bilateral diplomatic negotiations,
Peru decided to resort to The Hague court.
