THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) Nicaragua has returned to the International Court of Justice to ask its judges to settle parts of its maritime boundary with Colombia.
The case announced Tuesday follows a 2012 ruling by the same court on another section of the two countries' maritime border.
That ruling said a group of tiny islands in the western Caribbean belong to Colombia but also granted Nicaragua a large swath of surrounding sea and seabed. It did not halt tensions in the waters valued for possible oil and gas deposits.
In late 2012, Nicaraguan fishermen complained they were being harassed by Colombian military frigates and helicopters in waters awarded to Nicaragua by the Hague-based world court.
No date was immediately set for hearings in the latest case.
