Territorial claim
Venezuela has renewed its claim to the Essequibo region which is situated west of the Essequibo river.[6] The status of the border controversy is subject to the Geneva Agreement, which was signed by the United Kingdom, Venezuela and British Guiana on February 17, 1966. As of December 2020, the matter is being addressed by the ICJ.[7]
