CHILE-BOLIVIA: Maritime dispute takes new course
Chile’s President Michelle Bachelet appeared on national television on 7 July to deliver an uncompromising message to Bolivia: Chile will not accept the jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) at The Hague, which is at present weighing up a case filed by Bolivia in April 2013 in which it lays claim to a sovereign outlet to the Pacific Ocean. There are several motivating factors behind the decision but the overriding concern is that Chile might lose (or at least not totally win) the case, just as it did in its recent maritime dispute with Peru which went to the ICJ.
