Abstract

The historical aspects of the judgment International Court of Justice are controverted. Its lack of knowledge about Bolivian effective linkage with the sea is demonstrated. Also, the historic context assumed by the Court did not consider that Bolivia acted repeatedly in bad faith. This State did not accomplish and even openly broke three successive treaties signed with Chile in 1866, 1874 and 1884. On the next phase of this case this historic background should be considered and incorporated on the Counter-memorial.
