THE HAGUE, May 6 (Reuters) – Venezuela told judges at the United Nations’ highest court, the World Court, on Wednesday that it rejects its jurisdiction in its century-old dispute with its neighbour Guyana centred around a region that is rich in oil.
At issue is a 160,000-square-km (62,000-square-mile) border territory around the Esequibo river, which is mostly jungle, and an offshore area where significant discoveries of oil and gas have been made.
