Venezuela rejected the World Court's jurisdiction over a 160,000-square-kilometer border dispute with Guyana. The contested Esequibo region contains an offshore area where significant discoveries of oil and gas have been made. The dispute, rooted in a century-old border claim, centers on territorial control of strategically important energy reserves.
