The International Court of Justice (ICJ) is currently evaluating the dispute between Venezuela and Guyana but has said it could take several years to reach a ruling. It appealed to the government of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro days before the vote to “refrain” from any actions that could complicate the case, without mentioning the impending referendum by name. Venezuela’s government pressed ahead with the non-binding referendum despite the UN’s top court urging restraint in a territorial dispute with neighboring Guyana. Electoral authorities in Venezuela said voters had rejected the UN’s top court’s jurisdiction in a longstanding territorial dispute with Guyana over the oil-rich Essequibo area. Should Venezuela be forced to abide by the ICJ ruling ?
