The Hague tribunal considers that Uruguay did not properly inform about Botnia

The Hague tribunal gave its ruling on the conflict between Argentina and Uruguay by Botnia. Depending on its perspective, Argentina has not provided any concrete evidence to prove any pollution, but it stressed that it is not competent to analyze this issue.

Judge Peter Tomka, while reading the ruling, said regarding the bilateral dispute with Uruguay: “The relative demand for odor and its impact on tourism is outside the jurisdiction of this court,"

The court has held that Uruguay breached the Uruguay River Treaty and not properly informed about the installation of the pulp mill. Also considers the neighboring country does not respect the principle of good faith.

It was understood that Uruguay did not inform the CARU about the planned worked before granting permits to each of the plants, “so that country did not do what it is imposed by Art 7 of the statute of 1975.”

The effects of pollution will be suffered by ecosystems and people – Uruguayans and Argentines, so I do not see why the Hague Tribunal is still discusing the subject.
I was in Argentina and stayed in one of the great apartments in Buenos Aires and had an amazing time!
