Ecuador Starts Action At UN World Court Against Aerial Spraying By Colombia
follow links below to see actual court filing at the Hague.


Ecuador is taking Colombia to the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the principal judicial organ of the United Nations, in a dispute between the two South American countries over the alleged aerial spraying of toxic herbicides around their common border.

In an <"http://www.icj-cij.org/docket/files/138/14470.pdf">application filed with the <"http://www.icj-cij.org/presscom/index.php?p1=6&p2=1">ICJ yesterday in The Hague, where the court is based, Ecuador said that spraying by Colombia "has already caused serious damage to people, to crops, to animals, and to the natural environment on the Ecuadorian side of the frontier, and poses a grave risk of further damage over time."

1. Ecuador has been sufering for ages from this criminality. I hope the UN will be honest and condemn
Colombia in the most explicit terms.

They've asked, and complained, and they've been totally ignored by the fascist running Colombia. It's time someone called attention to his filthy, homicidal, greedy ways.
