This Thursday, the ICJ ordered Colombia to “immediately cease” with regard to its fishing activities in Nicaraguan waters as well as its interference in research operations by Nicaragua in its own waters.
The UN Court accused Bogotá of violating Nicaragua’s “sovereignty and jurisdiction” in its own Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) by authorizing fishing activities in Nicaraguan waters.
In addition, it considered that the Colombian presidential decree that established a “comprehensive contiguous zone” from the continent to the archipelago, in which the delimitation established by the ICJ in a previous ruling of 2012, is omitted “is not in accordance with customary international law.”
The deputy dictator of Nicaragua stated that her government feels “blessed, proud, happy and happy” in the face of the ICJ ruling. We are “celebrating the victories that are of peace, that are of understanding, that are of the search for truths,” she said.
In addition, he reported that this afternoon Daniel Ortega will address the people of Nicaragua to “comment” on the “historic ruling” on Colombia.
