International court to judge border counter-claims

The International Court of Justice at The Hague this week decided to join the two cases concerning the border dispute between Nicaragua and Costa Rica.

The first case, filed by Costa Rica in November 2010, was referred to as “Certain activities carried out by Nicaragua in the border area".

The second case, instituted by Nicaragua in 2011, was called “Construction of a road in Costa Rica along the San Juan River".
