President Irfaan Ali yesterday welcomed the World Court ruling ordering Venezuela not to take any action that interferes with Guyana’s control over the Essequibo and he urged Caracas to join this country in respecting international law.
The key Order issued by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) stated: “Pending a final decision in the case, the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela shall refrain from taking any action which would modify the situation that currently prevails in the territory in dispute, whereby the Cooperative Republic of Guyana administers and exercises control over that area.”
