Venezuela's government has categorically dismissed a ruling from the International Court of Justice (ICJ) that mandates it to refrain from elections in the Essequibo region, a territory both Venezuela and Guyana claim. President Nicolas Maduro's administration argues that international law does not permit such interference in domestic matters. This position follows Guyana's request to the ICJ, citing potential harm from Venezuela's planned elections in the region, which is rich in natural resources. The Venezuelan government emphasizes its historical claims to Essequibo, viewing it as an essential part of its territory.
Venezuela's government firmly rejects the ICJ's ruling, maintaining that international law does not permit the court to interfere in its domestic electoral matters.
The Essequibo region, rich in resources, is viewed by Venezuela as inalienable territory, a legacy that unites the Bolivarian Homeland against foreign interference.
