On November 19, 2012, the International Court of Justice rendered its
judgment in a dispute involving territorial and maritime claims raised by
Nicaragua against Colombia in the Caribbean Sea. The Court considered Nicaragua's
requests for a declaration of Nicaraguan sovereignty over seven disputed maritime
features and delimitation of a single maritime boundary between the continental
shelves and exclusive economic zones appertaining to Nicaragua and Colombia. The
Court awarded all disputed territory to Colombia and delimited the maritime
boundary between the states' continental shelves and exclusive economic zones by
using a novel mix of weighted base points, geodetic lines, parallels of latitude,
and enclaving.
