Abstract

On April 24, 2013 Bolivia filed a lawsuit versus Chile in the International Court of Justice (ICJ) claiming the lack of compliance to negotiate a sovereign exit to the Pacific Ocean. Unlike other moments of the bilateral relationship, the object of the claim was not a request of revision or annulment of the 1904 Treaty, but rather the focus was on the presence of different facts that would prove the existence of this obligation between the parts. After going through the written and oral phases established by regulation, the International Court dismissed, on October 1 2018, the bolivian lawsuit, ending the legal approach to the conflict. This article identifies the principal topics across Bolivia and Chile´s positions during the trial and then reflects on the future of this complex and particular relation.
