Maritime depute between Peru and Chile

(Map of Territorial conflict)

Peru and Chile are known as Latin American neighbors continued presenting their arguments before the International Court of Justice in The Hague stemming from a maritime dispute first presented to the ICJ in January 2008. Peru claimed for territorial water and internal water, but it was not recognised by Chilean government. The conflict area is approximately 35,700 square kilometers of ocean. Actually according to the history of diplomacy of these two countries, the conflict area was controlled by Peruvian government for long time ago, but it was passed to Chilean hands in 1879 when starting of Pacific War ( from 1879 to 1883 between Bolivia, Peru and Chile) until now. In addition in 2008 when presenting in the ICJ, Chile argued that the maritime border between Chile itself and Peru was officially established since 1952 and 1954 by basing on Santiago Declaration and Agreement on Maritime Border Zones.However it was rejected by Peruvian government, and it claimed that the document that were singed in 1952 and 1954 were just commercial fishing agreement not formal border accords.
Although this conflict has not been solved successfully by the ICJ, these countries Peru and Chile guaranteed that they will respect ICJ ruling on their maritime dispute and will not do any acts that violate the International Law.
