Introduction

In a world where respect for international law and justice are fundamental to peace and coexistence, it is unacceptable that the United States government continues to ignore the ruling of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague of June 27, 1986, which ruled in favor of Nicaragua. This campaign was born out of the need to highlight this injustice and demand compliance with a ruling that seeks to restore the dignity and rights of the Nicaraguan people.

We denounce the United States government's failure to comply and demand respect for the International Court's ruling, which requires the U.S. government to pay reparations to Nicaragua for the damages caused by its financing of the counterrevolution and its direct intervention in the war against the Nicaraguan people.

The facts

On June 27, 1986, the ICJ ruled in favor of Nicaragua, but the United States refused to respect the Court's decision, arguing that it lacked jurisdiction over the case. Following the Court's decision, the United States withdrew its Declaration on the Optional Clause, which established its acceptance of the Court's compulsory jurisdiction.

The ICJ determined that the United States had violated Nicaragua's sovereignty by carrying out acts of armed intervention and supporting the contras attacking the country from Honduras and Costa Rica.

The Court concluded that the United States was responsible for international wrongs, including the use of force and violation of the prohibition against intervention in the internal affairs of another state.

The ICJ ordered the United States to pay reparations to the Central American country for the damages caused by its actions. However, the United States failed to comply with this part of the ruling, arguing that the Court lacked jurisdiction over the case. Read more….
