COSTA RICA-NICARAGUA: Mixed signals from old rivals
Costa Rica presented the International Court of Justice (ICJ) at The Hague last week with a compensation claim for US$6.7m against Nicaragua for material damage caused in Costa Rica’s Isla Portillos. The claim is in line with a December 2015 ruling by the ICJ which found that Nicaragua had “invaded and occupied Costa Rican territory” [WR-16-01] although it comes amid other signs of strengthening cooperation by the two countries whose diplomatic relations have historically been strained.
