Bolivians Hail Int'l Court Jurisdictional Ruling on Sea Access
- 9 years ago
Bolivians, from President Evo Morales to the country's indigenous communities, hailed Thursday's decision by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague that it had jurisdiction in La Paz' claim against Chile demanding access to the sea. Bolivia lost its coastline to Chile in the 1879-1883 War of the Pacific. The ICJ vote was 12-2. teleSUR
