Dear Martin
Thank you very much for this very interesting note. States that have tried to "relitigate" territorial settled by ICJ usually

to maps related to possible reserves of oil and other naturales ressources in this specific area, it will be maybe usefull to understand better the suden interest in reopening the discussion after a judgment rendered by ICJ in 2002.
Here in Central America we have had a similar situation with a formal request of
