EU Ambassador René van Nes on Friday called for the statutes of international law to be respected, in relation to Venezuela’s proposed referendum on Essequibo and Guyana’s request for provisional measures, which the International Court of Justice (ICJ) will hear on November 14.
This was in response to a question posed by Stabroek News on Friday during a press conference at the European Union Delegation’s office in Georgetown.
“We follow everything that is happening and obviously we note how delicate the situation is and so the EU’s position is that international law must be respected and the multilateral institutions are the appropriate framework for addressing international disputes,” van Nes replied.
