Venezuelans to vote in referendum on disputed territory with Guyana

IndiaTimes Sunday, 3 December 2023
Venezuelans will vote in a referendum to decide the ownership of the potentially oil-rich territory around the Esequibo river, which is the subject of a long-running border dispute with Guyana. The referendum includes a question rejecting International Court of Justice jurisdiction over the territory. Political analysts see the referendum as a show of strength by President Maduro and a test of support for his government. The court has ordered Venezuela to refrain from altering the status quo.
