The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has granted Guyana one year, until 8 March, 2022, to file written pleadings in its case against Venezuela.
An Order issued by the Court on March 8 explains that following the 18 December, 2020 judgment in which the Court found that it has jurisdiction to entertain the application filed by Guyana, time-limits now have to be fixed for the written proceedings on the merits.
Consequently a meeting was held by video link on February 26 during which Guyana requested a period of nine months, from the date of the Order fixing the time-limits, for the preparation of its Memorial.
