The Executive Vice President of the Republic, Delcy Rodríguez, emphasized that Guyana has sought to transform its respect for due and obligatory legality in the Geneva Agreement, to the one before the International Court of Justice (ICJ), in order to evade its obligations and bring to the present far surpassed, such as the Arbitral Award of 1899.
This was stated by Rodríguez during a meeting of the Essequibo Commission, held at the headquarters of the Foreign Ministry of the Republic, where he read an official statement from the Bolivarian Government, on the occasion of the 58th Anniversary of the Geneva Agreement.
Rodríguez stressed that the above-mentioned agreement is aimed at resolving the controversy between Venezuela and the Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, over the border between Venezuela and British Guiana, “because that is where the first major violation by the Cooperative Republic of Guyana stems”.
