Essay / Research Paper Abstract
This is an 8 page paper discussing the maritime territorial disputes between Nicaragua and Columbia and Nicaragua and Honduras. Nicaragua currently has two territorial dispute cases before the International Court of Justice (ICJ). The first case forwarded in December 1999 was for the need of a determination of the delimitation of maritime zones between Nicaragua and Honduras. While Honduras claims that an area of delimitation already exists, Nicaragua does not recognize the current boundaries used and because of this fishing vessels from both countries have been captured without resolution. In December 2001, Nicaragua filed a claim against Columbia for disputed ownership of the maritime areas associated with the Archipelago de San Andres y Providencia and Quita Sueno Bank; an area which consists of over half of Nicaragua’s maritime territories. With consideration for the International exclusive economic zones (EEZ) agreed upon in the 1970s which allows for ownership up to 200 nautical miles off the coasts of each country, the territories become harder to define and often overlap. The two cases are still pending with the ICJ with further testimonials and application deadlines are set for the years 2003 and 2004.

territorial disputes: one, a maritime boundary dispute with Venezuela in the Gulf of Venezuela; and another with Nicaragua over the Archipelago de San Andres y Providencia and Quita Sueno Bank.
Nicaragua however is involved with the dispute with Columbia over the Archipelago de San Andres y Providencia and Quita Sueno Bank in addition to its dispute over the Golfo de
Fonseca which involves El Salvador and Honduras. The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has advised a tripartite resolution must be established for this latter dispute (Latin America, 2002). International Court
