EORGETOWN, Guyana, Mar. 6, CMC – The Government of Guyana has called on the Hague based International Court of Justice (ICJ), to block Venezuela from engaging in electoral activities in the Essequibo region even as the neighboring countries have a pending border case before the judicial body.
“Guyana informed the Court that the planned Venezuelan elections are scheduled to take place on May 25, and would inevitably be preceded by preparatory acts, including acts within Guyana’s Essequibo region, affecting the Guyanese population and Guyana’s sovereignty over its territory. Therefore, in order to preserve its rights, Guyana is requesting that the Court order Venezuela to refrain from any acts within or affecting its sovereign territory, including the Essequibo region,” the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
