This May 4, the hearings for the border dispute between the oil nation Venezuela and Guyana over the Essequibo region began in The Hague at the International Court of Justice (ICJ). On the first day of hearings, Guyana's representatives stated that 70% of their territory is at stake and that for them it is an "existential dispute." Caracas will present its allegations on May 6; However, the authorities have already warned that they do not recognize the ICJ in the dispute and that it does not have jurisdiction, although Venezuela will attend the hearings. The trial, which will decide the future of Essequibo, will end on May 11. Report by our correspondent Daniella Zambrano.
