Peru-Chile border defined by UN court at The Hague

After intense controversy between the two neighboring countries, the United Nations Supreme Court has determined the maritime boundary between Peru and Chile.

The judge in The Hague dominated that part of the Pacific in Peru, but maintained a rich fishing ground in Chile

Bet is 38,000 square kilometers (14,670 square miles) of sea and part of the world's wealthiest fishery.

In 2008, Peru sought the international court to adjudicate this issue, saying the border was illegal.

In that ruling, the United Nations Court offered about 20,000 square kilometers (7,700 square miles) to Peru and managed another sea of ​​28,000 square kilometers (10,800 square miles) currently in the international waters.

It also stated, as before, that the ocean boundary should start at the same point on the coastline.

Peru expects the border to extend southwest, perpendicular to the intersection of the two countries' borders and the sea.

However, Chile argues that it should extend parallel to the equator from the coast. It cites a treaty agreed in 1952 and 1954 and states that it solved the maritime boundary problem based on this treaty.

Chilean president Michel Bachelet president-elect felt that she was "regretting" for so-called "painful loss", but promised to work hard so as to "take the ruling a step".

Peru's counterpart Olanta Humara said that "Peru is pleased with the results of the court's ruling," immediate implementation of the necessary actions and measures. "

Peru's fishery estimates that the conflict area captures 565 meters of Peru's new bottom ($ 200 million, £ 122 million) annually, especially anchovy used to make fish meal.

If the court decides to adversely affect it Chile promises financial aid to the fishery

The press said that because of the great interest in litigation in these two countries, it also caused considerable national pride.

After a massive failure in Chile in the 19th century, several Peruans thought that decision was an opportunity to regain the pride and realm of the people.

Bolivia lost the only sea export and brought suit against Chile to the International Court of Justice.

Peru borders with Chile and shares some of the vast deserts and vast Andean. However, in addition to Chile, Peru also has good preserved Colombian culture and people. Some of the most visited places such as Machu Picchu were discovered about a century ago, but most of the sites were known and plundered by early Spanish explorers. After independence from Spain, Peru enjoyed the age of prosperity and growth, but over the years, domestic conflicts and authoritarian governments in particular restrained growth and prosperity in the latter part of the 20th century. Unlike Chile, exports are an important part of the economy, as Peru has large tropical climate of eastern Andes in addition to the richness of minerals and seafood.

Historically, Peruvian foreign relations have been dominated by border disputes with neighboring countries, but most of them have been resolved in the 20th century. Recently, Peru has challenged Chile's maritime regulation in the Pacific Ocean. Peru is an active member of several regional organizations and is one of the founder of the Andean community. We also participate in international organizations such as the state organization of the United States and the United Nations. From 1981 to 1991, Javier Perez de Guerra served as secretary general of the United Nations. Former president Fujimori was contaminated in the third re-election in June 2000, the relationship between Peru and the United States, Latin America countries, European countries was tense, but the relationship with the installation improved, November 2000, 2001 The interim government of July and the launch of Alejandro Toledo
