World Court rules in favour of Guyana on measures over Venezuela referendum

"The International Court of Justice (ICJ) today ruled that Venezuela must not take any decision that modifies Guyana’s control over the Essequibo region.

This is in relation to its planned referendum on Sunday where one of its questions is tantamount to the annexation of Guyana’s Essequibo county.
The court said that the decision has a binding effect on the parties and creates a legal obligation.
The session was held under the presidency of Judge Joan E. Donoghue, President of the Court who delivered the order today in the Hague, Netherlands." Stabroek
