flag Guyana celebrates 60 years since the 1966 Geneva Agreement, upholding the 1899 award and ICJ jurisdiction in its border dispute with Venezuela.

flag Guyana marks the 60th anniversary of the 1966 Geneva Agreement, a treaty that established a peaceful process for resolving the border dispute with Venezuela over the Essequibo region. flag The agreement, which upholds the 1899 Arbitral Award, led to ICJ proceedings initiated by Guyana in 2018. flag The ICJ affirmed its jurisdiction in 2020 and again in 2023, rejecting Venezuela’s challenges. flag Guyana continues to comply with provisional measures ordered by the court, urging Venezuela to do the same, while reaffirming its commitment to resolving the dispute through international law. flag Oral hearings at the ICJ are set for May 2026.
