Abstract

MURILLO DE LA ROCHA, Javier. The Court of The Hague accepts jurisdiction to decide on the merits of the bolivian claim. Rev Cien Cult [online]. 2015, vol.19, n.35, pp.153-161. ISSN 2077-3323.

The consistency of the arguments underpinning the petition submitted by Bolivia before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) resulted in that the ICJ rejected the preliminary objection filed by Chile, country that will need to prove in the next stage that it never promised to solve Bolivia's landlocked situation through a sovereign access to the Pacific Ocean. Bolivia states that such formal commitments existed and were unfulfilled and relies on a favorable ruling, but this state must work on the factors that, in the past, prevented that the different negotiations undertaken could thrive.
