The International Court of Justice at The Hague yesterday rejected Uruguay’s request for provisional measures that would compel Argentina to remove blockades set up by environmental picketers on the main thoroughfares connecting the two countries. The blockades, which protest Uruguay’s construction of pulp mills near the border, have spurred ongoing controversy and litigation for almost a year. The ICJ ruled 14-1 that the current situation did not justify the measures sought by Uruguay, but urged the two countries to seek cooperative, lawful ways to resolve their tensions.
