Guyana–Venezuela crisis (2023–2024)

Diplomatic crisis in South America

The long-standing territorial dispute over the Essequibo region escalated into a crisis in 2023. The region is administered by Guyana but is claimed by Venezuela. The dispute dates back many years and the current border was established by the Paris Arbitral Award in 1899. Venezuela renewed its claim in 1962 and the matter was referred to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in 2018.
