“The non-recognition of the court is not an act of rebellion by Venezuela, and Venezuela made this clear to the International Court of Justice last month,” stated Attorney General Arianny Seijo during the conference on the territorial dispute surrounding the Guayana Esequiba, where she reiterated the defense of national sovereignty.
Likewise, she emphasized that this rejection comes from the deep commitment Venezuela has to international law, reminding the court that its functions are limited by the will of the States.
Furthermore, “there must prevail the commitment established between the parties to the Geneva Agreement, which is contrary to a judicial decision; that is, moreover, contrary to what Venezuela has as its internal legal framework in its Constitution,” affirmed Seijo.
During the conference was also present Chancellor Yván Gil, who contextualized with precision the geopolitical and historical importance of the Guayana Esequiba.
