On balance, it looks to me like Argentina lost this one ...... ?

Jajajajajajaja......You MercoPress never cease to amaze me, The headline should have been this:

“”the International Court of Justice pointed out that Uruguay failed in complying with all procedural steps of consulting with neighbouring Argentina, as established in a 1975 shared waters management agreement“”

- That's we were there. However, as I mentioned once, This court of “justice” is always in favour of economic interests.

Or as usual Argentina made a mountain out of a mole hill and a technical violation part of the treaty is the court's way of saving Argentine face. Apart from a “technical violation” of the treaty, every other allegation made by Argentina was rejected.

But of course Argentina didn't get its own way, so the court must be biased.

I draw attention to the fact I predicted this a year ago.
