During a media briefing at the UN House yesterday in Kingston, visiting President of the UN General Assembly (UNGA) Ambassador David Francis said Guyana has the option of presenting a case to UNGA in the event of any escalation by Venezuela over the border controversy with this country.
His response came after a lengthy pause before answering the Sunday Stabroek’s question about what actions Guyana could take at UNGA if Venezuela’s threats over the border controversy came to fruition. He noted that the boundary controversy between Guyana and Venezuela is currently under review by the International Court of Justice (ICJ), and it is important to allow this legal process to unfold.
