Follow-up: ICJ gives Uruguay green light to allow mill construction

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled in favor of Uruguay to allow the construction of paper mills along the river border with Argentina (image) . The ICJ’s ruling is provisional, however, and it still reserves the right to outright accept or reject the case at a later date. Argentina claimed that mill construction would seriously damage the border formed by the Uruguay River, while Uruguay claimed that the mills are needed to create jobs.
