COSTA RICA/NICARAGUA: Both sides hail ICJ ruling
The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has issued its first ruling
on the dispute between Costa Rica and Nicaragua over the controversial project
by Nicaragua's President Daniel Ortega to dredge the San Juan River which
divides the two countries. Remarkably the 8 March ruling has been hailed as a
“victory" by both sides and while only provisional, with the sovereignty of the
disputed area still under review, it appears to have defused a significant
source of bilateral tension in the immediate term at least.
