After declaring that it does not recognize the jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in adjudicating the border controversy between itself and Guyana, Venezuela has now submitted preliminary objections to the admissibility of the case before the Court.
This information was relayed yesterday in a press release from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation which accused Caracas of attempting to delay the conclusion of the case. The ministry related that the Registrar of the ICJ advised of Venezuela’s submission regarding the Arbitral Award of 3 October 1899 (Guyana v. Venezuela).
