Dear Professor Abdou and colleagues
Many thanks for sharing this important event to be held in London.
Please find thereafter the memorial and conuntermemorial beetween Costa Rica and Nicaragua in both oceans "liberated" - as documents - by ICJ this week at the beginning of the public hearings
It is an extremely interesting exercise, in which both States are trying to tdo their best in both oceans to obtain the best result, redrawing the geography of the coasts if necessary
Many lines, many arguments, many projections, many inconsistencies, and wonderful charts and graphics that I´am sure will interest all of you. It is a pity that such wonderful exercise with two oceans to delimitate didn´t end in a bilateral agreement.
Memorial of Costa Rica
Counter memorial of Nicaragua
Both in English
Sincerely yours
Nicolas Boeglin
