The Historical Context of the Guyana/Venezuela Controversy was produced by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of the Co-operative Republic of Guyana as part of a broader effort to raise awareness about this issue. The pamphlet provides historical information on Venezuela's challenge to Guyana's sovereignty and an update on the case before the International Court of Justice on the Arbitral Award of 3 October 1899 (Guyana v. Venezuela). For more information please visit ww.minfor.gov.gy.
