Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodriguez said her country will be presenting documents before the International Court of Justice that prove Venezuela's right to Essequibo, amid its dispute over the territory with Guyana. 

In a post on X, Rodriguez announced the Venezuelan delegation's arrival in the Netherlands "to deliver the historical truth of Venezuela," disprove Guyana's claims, and settle the country's right to Essequibo. 

En nombre del Pdte. @NicolasMaduro y en cumplimiento al mandato de nuestro pueblo el #03Dic, hemos llegado a Holanda a entregar la verdad histórica de Venezuela; su derecho irrenunciable al territorio de la Guayana Esequiba.

On December 15, Guyana and Venezuela agreed to avert the use of force and threats to settle the disputed Essequibo territory to resolve matters of conflict within international law, such as the 1966 Geneva Agreement.

Published by Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, the statement said, "Guyana and Venezuela, directly or indirectly, will not threaten or use force against one another in any circumstances, including those consequential to any existing controversies between the two States."

Venezuelan Congress approves law for the defense of Essequibo

Two weeks ago, the National Assembly (AN) unanimously approved the Law for the Defense of the Guayana Esequiba.

The law creates the state of "Guayana Esequiba", which borders Guyana to the east and will be ruled by a governor appointed through elections. Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro will appoint an authority for the area.

Tumeremo, a city in Bolivar, will serve as the new state's temporary capital until Venezuela "reaches a practical and mutually acceptable solution with Guyana."

The National Assembly also ruled that elected politicians in the Guayana Esequiba region could not be citizens who have engaged in actions that directly or indirectly encourage or support Guyana's stance at the expense of Venezuela's rights to the Essequibo.

Legislator Diosdado Cabello remarked that the assembly "vindicates our people's right to defend our territory," congratulating those who backed the historical claim to the Essequibo and rejecting the US and ExxonMobil's attempts to deprive Venezuela of its legacy.
