ICJ Decision on Chile-Bolivia Ocean Access Dispute

October 1st, 2018 6 years ago

The International Court of Justice ruled that Chile is not obliged to negotiate sovereign access to the Pacific Ocean for Bolivia. This ruling concluded a long-standing dispute stemming from the late 19th century Guerra del Pacífico, where Bolivia lost its coastline to Chile. The court found that Chile had no legal obligation to engage in negotiations regarding access. The decision was significant as it shaped the future diplomatic relations between the two nations.
