Venezuela's Acting President Defends Claim Over Guyana's Essequibo Region at UN Court
Venezuela's acting President Delcy Rodríguez has arrived in the Netherlands to present her country's case before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) regarding the disputed Essequibo region, a mineral-rich area claimed by both Venezuela and Guyana. The hearings are part of a long-standing territorial dispute, with Venezuela asserting that a 1966 agreement nullified an 1899 arbitration decision that favored Guyana. The ICJ's final ruling, expected to take months, will be legally binding. Rodríguez's appearance marks a significant moment in the decades-long conflict, as Venezuela seeks to assert its historical claims over the territory.
