Newly accredited US ambassador Perry Holloway today said that the Guyana/Venezuela boundary as settled by the 1899 arbitral award should be respected, even as he stressed that peaceful means consistent with international law should be used to settle the ongoing controversy.
“We call on all parties to continue to respect the 1899 arbitral ruling and boundary unless or until a competent legal body decides otherwise or both parties agree on something else,” he said at a press conference in response a question on US’ position on the award.
Holloway reminded reporters of that the land boundary was decided by an arbitral award
