The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) last evening urged Venezuela to respect the International Court of Justice’s (ICJ) conservatory measures on the border controversy with Guyana and called for a de-escalation of the conflict.
It also pressed for dialogue between the leaders of two countries to ensure peaceful coexistence.
Caricom’s most recent pronouncement came as the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) yesterday held consultations, on a request triggered by this country to discuss recent developments since the ICJ’s provisional ruling. That session, according to sources, saw China requesting additional time for Beijing to deliberate on the issue, sources told Stabroek News.
