Nicaragua-Costa
Rica
Dispute
in New
Phase
The
dispute
between
Nicaragua
and
Costa
Rica for
four
months
is now
in a new
phase,
following
the
announcement
of a
forthcoming
decision
of the
International
Court of
Justice
in The
Hague.
According
to news
reports,
the
International
Court of
Justice
Saturday
said the
governments
of the
two
countries
that on
March 8
it will
announce
its
decision
on the
dispute
sparked
by Costa
Rica
against
Nicaragua
in
October.
Nicaraguan
authorities
so far
have not
comment
on the
announcement,
but the
Costa
Rican
Foreign
Minister
Rene
Castro
said he
was
satisfied
with the
news and
expressed
the hope
of
receiving
a
favorable
ruling
to his
the
claims
of his
Government.
The
conflict
arose
after
Nicaragua
started
the
dredging
of the
river
San Juan
which is
the
border
with
Costa
Rica.
The San
Juan
River is
part of
Nicaragua
and
Costa
Rica
only has
right of
navigation
for
commercial
purposes,
but the
river
has
always
been in
the
spotlight
of Costa
Rican
expansionist
sectors.
