Venezuela rejects the ICJ failure on elections in La Guyana Esequiba
In the document issued by the Venezuelan Foreign Ministry, which was shared by the Executive Vice President of that South American country, Delcy Rodríguez, through its social networks, it was stressed that the Bolivarian government «does not recognize or recognize or the jurisdiction of the International Court of justice or abide Esequiba », in a process that he described as« rigged since its inception and manipulated by corporate antivenezolan interests that have nothing to do with justice »
In the text, it was also reaffirmed that the territorial controversy is governed by the 1966 Geneva Agreement, “legally binding instrument that established the obligation of the parties to resolve the territorial controversy through a practical and mutually acceptable arrangement.”
The Venezuelan government also recalled through this letter that “nothing in international law allows the International Court of Justice to interfere in matters that are exclusivity of Venezuela’s domestic law, nor pretend to prohibit a sovereign act, organized within the framework of its participatory political system and based on its constitution and national legislation.”
The pronouncement of Venezuela is produced in response to the international judicial agency, after “ordering” Venezuela to refrain from celebrating or preparing elections in the Esequibo region, in dispute with Guyana, this in relation to the regional elections provided for in Guyana Esequiba for May 25.
The Venezuelan government has repeatedly ratified its solid commitment to defend territorial integrity and national sovereignty about Esequiba Guayana. He has also made calls to the Cooperative Republic of Guyana to return to the negotiating table to make effective the practical, acceptable and satisfactory arrangement for both parties to which they committed to the 1966 Geneva Agreement.
