BOLIVIA-CHILE: Bachelet gambles on an old dispute
Faced with multiple domestic troubles, not least the recent resignation of the interior minister, Jorge Burgos, President Michelle Bachelet has pipped her Bolivian peer Evo Morales to the post. Bachelet presented a formal complaint against Bolivia before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) at The Hague over the Silala River – a dispute which Morales himself threatened to take before the ICJ earlier this year [WR-16-13]. The move comes as bilateral tensions are on the up, over a trade-related dispute.
