The article analyses the far-reaching consequences of the ICJ Judgment of 19 November 2012 on the Territorial and Maritime Dispute case between Colombia and Nicaragua. By taking this recent case as reference, the article aims to introduce the issue of non-compliance with international judgments. Colombia emphatically rejected and openly defied the ICJ ruling. Here, it is argued that this Colombian irreverent attitude may induce other Latin American judgment debtor states to adopt an analogous divergent behaviour in the foreseeable future, compromising the positive trend that the ICJ is experiencing in Latin America.

Abstract

The article analyses the far-reaching consequences of the ICJ Judgment of 19 November 2012 on the Territorial and Maritime Dispute case between Colombia and Nicaragua. By taking this recent case as reference, the article aims to introduce the issue of non-compliance with international judgments. Colombia emphatically rejected and openly defied the ICJ ruling. Here, it is argued that this Colombian irreverent attitude may induce other Latin American judgment debtor states to adopt an analogous divergent behaviour in the foreseeable future, compromising the positive trend that the ICJ is experiencing in Latin America.
