Venezuela’s President Nicolas Maduro has rejected an International Court of Justice ruling on the country’s dispute with Guyana over the Essequibo territory.
Maduro is also against the US deployment of warships near the disputed region. He believes the Pentagon seeks to intimidate his country.
The Venezuelan president has said his administration will not give in to imperialist threats and it will step up legal efforts to take back the territory.
In a new presidential decree, Maduro has declared Venezuela’s sovereignty over Essequibo.
The socialist-led National Assembly has also established a special committee to that end.
Lawmakers say the legal struggle over Essequibo is a priority for the Bolivarian Republic.
The Maduro administration, in many expert eyes, has always handled the Essequibo spat in peaceful terms.
Into the Essequibo affair Washington has been sticking its nose for long.
