BOGOTA, Colombia, Jumada II 08, 1437, March 17, 2016, SPA -- Colombia will no longer partake in proceedings at the International Court of Justice in a long-running dispute with Nicaragua over a Caribbean archipelago, according to AP. President Juan Manuel Santos announced the decision Thursday after the court based in The Hague, Netherlands rejected Colombia's assertion that it had no jurisdiction to determine maritime boundaries between the two countries. Santos said the border dispute should be resolved only through direct negotiations with Nicaragua. The United Nations' highest court in 2012 affirmed Colombian sovereignty over the San Andres archipelago but ruled that some waters around the islands belong to Nicaragua. The decision outraged Colombia. Nicaragua filed a complaint at the court a year later accusing Colombia of breaching its obligation not to violate Nicaragua's maritime zones as set out in the court's 2012 ruling. --SPA 22:39 LOCAL TIME 19:39 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
