Guyana on Monday submitted its memorial to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) pertaining to the question of whether the court has jurisdiction to adjudicate over a juridical settlement of the long-running border controversy between this country and Venezuela.
A statement yesterday from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that Guyana filed its Memorial in accordance with the Order of the Court dated 19 June 2018 that determined it would first resolve the question of the Court’s jurisdiction in light of Venezuela’s refusal to participate in the proceedings based on its contention that the ICJ lacked standing.
