Nicaragua Regrets Colombia Rejection of The
Hague
Nicaragua lamented Colombia's decision to reject
presenting its position to the International
Court in the Hague, considering that institution
ideal to solve an old border dispute between
both nations.
In a Foreign Affairs Ministry release, Nicaragua
said The Hague is the most fair and effective
place to resolve this controversy, and Nicaragua
s suit there is a sign of its peaceful spirit.
Nicaragua is demanding over 19,000 square miles
in the Caribbean, contesting Colombia s claim
under a 1920 treaty because it was signed when
Nicaragua was occupied by US troops.
Nicaraguan attorneys are presenting their
arguments at court today and Foreign Minister
Samuel Santos is expected to me there to meet
with the law team Thursday and attend Friday s
hearings.
