Chile announced it has scientific evidence proving the Silala River naturally flows from Bolivia into Chile. Both countries are involved in a case at the International Court of Justice, initiated by Chile in 2016, to determine access rights to the river's waters. Chile seeks recognition of the Silala as an international river, granting both nations equitable usage rights. Bolivia, led by President Evo Morales, claims the Silala is an artificially diverted spring, not an international river. Chile counters with the argument that gravity causes the natural flow towards its territory. The deadline for submitting documents to The Hague is July 3. This case is part of broader disputes, including Bolivia's demand for sea access lost in the 19th century.
