VOICED : Chile, confiado ante su disputa con Bolivia

Bolivia and Chile presented their arguments at the International Court of Justice in The Hague regarding Bolivia's claim to regain access to the Pacific Ocean. Bolivia lost its coastline after a 19th-century war, and Chile argues that the court lacks jurisdiction due to a 1904 peace treaty. The 1948 Pact of Bogotá is also discussed, which aimed to prevent the court from revisiting resolved issues. Bolivia maintains that its claim is independent of the treaty. Hearings are scheduled to determine the court's jurisdiction, amidst a backdrop of severed diplomatic relations since 1978.
