Dear Editor,
Respectfully, the reference in your Sunday editorial that ‘[I]n 2016 the ICJ ruled China’s claims in contravention of the International Convention on the Law of the Sea’, and the repeated reference that China ‘can dismiss a decision by the World Court’, which is the forum from which all Guyana currently awaits a decision in our territorial controversy, is erroneous.
