Hague ruling leaves Humala without unity card
On 27 January, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) at The Hague issued a ruling largely in favour of Peru in a maritime dispute with Chile, filed by Peru in January 2008. The Lima government led by President Ollanta Humala hailed the ruling, claiming that it awarded “more than 70% of Peru’s demands”, giving it “some 50,000km2 of [additional territorial] waters”. In the run-up to the ICJ decision President Humala had called for unity among the political establishment and there was widespread public enthusiasm for the ruling. The political gains for the unpopular president and his administration, however, may turn out to be quite meagre.
