The World Court on Thursday rejected a suit by Nicaragua seeking to define and expand its deep sea economic rights beyond those previously established in a long-running maritime border dispute with Colombia.
Judges found that Nicaragua's offshore rights to 200 nautical miles have previously been established. The World Court, or International Court of Justice, is the U.N. court for resolving disputes between nations.
"With this ruling we hope to close the border dispute and focus on bringing sustainable development to our archipelago," Petro said. Nicaragua had asked the World Court to define boundaries beyond 200 nautical miles based on the continental shelf extending from its territory.
