Guyana is taking steps to block Venezuela’s recent aggressive maritime intrusion by seeking measures from the International Court of Justice. This act has elicited condemnation from the U.S. and raises tensions related to oil drilling activities.
Venezuela has committed a recent aggressive act by intruding into Guyana’s maritime territory, which has drawn extensive condemnation from various nations, including the United States. This incursion appears aimed at intimidating Guyana and heightening regional tensions. Furthermore, it is speculated that Venezuela’s actions may be a strategic message to the U.S. regarding oil extraction activities by the U.S. company Exxon, particularly following the termination of a Chevron license, signaling Venezuela’s willingness to instigate conflict in the area.
In response to Venezuela’s provocative intrusion into its maritime space, Guyana is actively pursuing measures through the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to inhibit Venezuela’s aggressive actions. The incident has not only garnered widespread condemnation but also highlighted the geopolitical tensions in the region, particularly concerning oil extraction operations.
