Territorial and Maritime Dispute (Nicaragua v. Colombia), 2001

Abstract:

The dispute of Nicaragua against Colombia, as any territorial dispute, ends up worsen the jingoisms that cloud one’s judgement, interpreted to its willing; instead of searching for a direct solution based on the objectivity of the law.

The article will move through the period in which the dispute arises, the political context prior to the complaint, and so of what was discussed in the process with the purpose to establish that the parties were claiming rights beyond those they really were entitled to, and that the verdict is in accordance with International Law.
