CHILE-BOLIVIA: Muñoz rebukes Morales over Pacific case
The prospect of diplomatic relations between Chile and Bolivia improving with the advent of a new government in Santiago was dealt a blow last week. Chile’s new foreign minister, Heraldo Muñoz, described the decision by Bolivia’s President Evo Morales to set a precedent on 16 April by travelling in person to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) at The Hague to submit legal documents pertaining to Bolivia’s claim to regain access to the sea lost to Chile in the 1879-1893 War of the Pacific, as a political stunt. Muñoz accused the Morales administration of covering up the “lack of legal substance to its case” with political-media spin.
