What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Guyana's President urged Venezuela at the UN General Assembly to respect the International Court of Justice's process regarding the Essequibo region, an oil-rich territory that Caracas has claimed for decades. The ICJ has heard the case but has not yet rendered a ruling on the Essequibo region, which represents more than two-thirds of Guyana's territory. Guyana argues that the border should be confirmed by the ICJ, while Venezuela maintains that demarcation must be renegotiated based on a 1966 agreement.
