Venezuela presented its arguments in defense of the ownership of the extensive territory of Essequibo in The Hague. Vice President Delcy Rodríguez attended the hearing that the court had set for April 8 to deliver a boxed file with copies of a document in which they ratify her position.
Venezuela has already moved forward in other ways in incorporating the 160,000 hectares of jungle into the country's official maps and this Monday the Official Gazette published the law creating an administrative territory over the claimed area.
