GEORGETOWN, Guyana, Apr. 23, CMC – The International Court of Justice (ICJ) is set to begin oral hearings on May 4 in the long-running border dispute between Guyana and Venezuela, marking a pivotal phase in one of the country’s most consequential legal battles.
Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs Mohabir Anil Nandlall said during his weekly programme “Issues in the News” that hearings are scheduled for May 4–8 and may extend into the following week.
The proceedings represent a critical step in Guyana’s effort to secure a final, peaceful, and binding resolution to the decades-old controversy over the Essequibo region, which accounts for more than two-thirds of its territory.
