LAWYERS for Chile's government argued Thursday that judges at the United Nations' highest court should reject a request by Peru to draw a maritime boundary between the two countries, arguing the boundary was settled in a 1952 treaty.
Peru argued earlier this week that a maritime boundary between the Andean neighbors was never established and that two agreements which Chile claims set the border are nonbinding and merely denoted some fishing zones.
The Peruvian government wants the International Court of Justice to set a border that would give Peru sovereignty over a far larger part of the Pacific Ocean than it currently controls.
But Chile representative Albert van Klaveren Stork urged the world court to reject the request.
