Guyana plans to approach the United Nations’ top court regarding Venezuela's intention to govern the disputed Essequibo region.
The foreign ministry stated that Venezuela's actions violate a December 2022 agreement aimed at preventing conflict over the resource-rich area.
Guyana will request provisional measures from the International Court of Justice to halt Venezuelan election plans in Essequibo.

The ruling from the world court is not expected this year as Venezuela is still preparing its response to Guyana's claims.
