The referendum date is set for April tenth next year, and while there have been presentations here and there, the public awareness and preparedness campaign on taking Guatemala’s claim to Belize to the International Court of Justice was officially launched today at the Laing building in Belize City. Now, it is well known that the Government is pushing a yes vote. This afternoon, Foreign Minister Wilfred Elrington was blunt and said it is the right thing to do because there is widespread support from every nation and multilateral agencies including the Commonwealth, CARICOM, SICA and the Group of Seventy-Seven. Elrington points to other nations where conflicts have led to violence. But what is the litigation risk? He says that it is insignificant compared to not voting yes. Elrington likened the situation with Guatemala to a domestic dispute between neighbors that ends in bloodshed.
