Nicaragua takes Costa Rica to court again

Nicaragua and Costa Rica are going back to the International Court of Justice this week to argue the case against Costa Rica’s border highway that runs along the southern bank of Nicaragua’s San Juan River.

Nicaragua is asking the Court to take provisional measures against Costa Rica to halt construction on the 160-kilometer highway, known as Route 1856.

Nicaragua claims the highway has caused serious and irreversible environmental damage to the area.
