Maritime disputes ICJ rejects Nicaraguas claim against Colombia

Colombia wins a narrow victory against Nicaragua before the International Court of Justice (ICJ). The judges of this United Nations body rejected a request by Managua to extend its maritime border beyond the usual 200 nautical miles. This dispute, which dates back more than 50 years, poisons relations between the two states.
