NICARAGUA - COSTA RICA GET NEW BORDERS

TOP UN COURT  draws new borders for Costa Rica, Nicaragua.

THE HAGUE :

The UN's highest court drew new maritime boundaries between Costa Rica and Nicaragua on Friday  seeking to end a decades long frontier dispute, and ordered-

Managua to pay compensation for environmental damage.

In a multi-pronged judgment, the International Court of Justice [ICJ] also ordered Nicaragua to remove a military camp near the river San Juan  -

Which divides the two neighbours - and which the The Hague based ICJ said ''violated Costa Rica's sovereignty.''

Friday's judgment resulted from a string of disputes between the two Central American neighbours  before the ICJ, set up in 1945 to rule on border and territorial disputes between nations.

Apart from ruling on the disputed San Juan wetlands area, Costa Rica also asked the ICJ to set its  maritime boundaries on both its western Pacific Ocean and in the Caribbean Sea to the east.
